Pre-production Inspection For Quality Control Of Ceramic PCB

What is Pre-production Inspection?

Pre-production Inspection (PPI) is a specialized type of inspection aimed at assessing the quality of raw materials and components to ensure they align with product specifications. It is conducted prior to the commencement of production processes.

PPI covers a broad scope, encompassing prototypes, small orders, and mass production. It is especially relevant when collaborating with new suppliers, particularly for projects involving significant quantities. The primary objectives of PPI are:

1. Verifying the quality, condition, and suitability of received raw materials, aiding in confirming the supplier's understanding of your requirements.

2. Ensuring prototype products or small orders meet approval standards right from the start.

3. Confirming that all preparatory tasks are ready for mass production.

When Should You Perform a Pre-production Inspection?

A pre-production inspection can help you to verify the raw materials are in conformity with the contrast. It also will help to push the production on schedule. PPI can be performed when you are in:

1. Engaging with a new or unstable supplier.

2. Undertaking a critical project with high quantities and tight deadlines.

3. Suspecting the use of lower-quality alternative materials by the supplier.

Pre-production Inspection aids in monitoring the progress of your order and confirming its adherence to manufacturing criteria. It helps bridge communication gaps with suppliers and can expedite production timelines.

BSTCeramicPCB Conducts Pre-production Inspection by Following Steps

At BSTCeramicPCB, we follow a meticulous process for Pre-production Inspection:

1. Factory Arrival: Our inspector arrives at the factory before production begins.

2. Raw Materials Check: Inspectors verify that raw materials comply with formal standards and industry requirements. They also assess quantity adequacy.

3. Random Sampling: Random samples of components, materials, pastes, semi-finished, and finished products are selected to ensure product quality.

4. Environment Assessment: Besides materials, the production environment must meet safety and standardization criteria. Inspectors evaluate and record workshop humidity and temperature.

5. Production Line Audit: Our inspector performs an audit of the production line, assessing production and quality control capabilities encompassing manpower, machinery, materials, methods, and environment.

6. Inspection Report: All inspection results are documented in a report, reviewed by the quality manager to ensure traceability.
