Our workflow, showing the inspections and audits done at each stage of the purchasing process for buyers and traders:
What is the First Article Inspection & why might you need one?
The First Article Inspection is typically performed right after the manufacturer starts producing your first mass production samples.
A First Article Inspection will help you resolve any production problems that might exist at the beginning stage of manufacturing. This inspection is especially important if a Pre-Production Inspection was not performed.
What do we check during a First Article Inspection?
- Understanding of your demands by the factory
- Status and quantity of the raw materials and components used in the production
- First production samples according to your approved samples or specifications
- Production schedule and production processes control
- Quality control
Where are inspections performed?
We perform First Article Inspections at supplier factories throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Asian Pacific.
