Performing a FRI is useful as a standard quality assurance check prior to export consignment. This is an evaluation of key product characteristics at the end of the production, when a consignment is 100% produced and at least 80% packed in cartons. It is commonly used to safeguard the shipment according to international sampling plan ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, ISO 2859-1, BS 6001, DIN 40.080, NFX 06.022, UNI 48.42 depending upon Client requirement. A representative number of sample size according to given Client AQL will be randomly drawn from whole consignment for visual inspection.
A FRI would cover: Product Conformity Check (including Style, Materials and Color), Packing & Assortment Check (including Export Carton Packing, Inner Carton Packing, Product Packaging and Assortment Check), Labeling, Printed Materials & Shipping Marks Check, Workmanship / Appearance / Function Check Onsite Tests (e.g. Barcode Verification, Measurement, Carton and Product Weight…etc).
2- INITIAL PRODUCTION INSPECTION (IPI)
Performing an IPI is a preventative step as it allows adequate time to make decisions about production components and quality, so to apply corrective actions where required. In general, this inspection takes place when approximately 10-20% of total order quantity is produced. Depending on the product and the manufacturing process, the IPI may cover raw materials, partially completed products and/or finished products and their packaging. Production status is verified at this stage.
3- DURING PRODUCTION INSPECTION (DPI)
Performing a DPI permits confirmation that corrections made following an IPI have been successful and allows another chance to apply further corrective actions where required. A DPI takes place when approximately 40-60% of total order quantity is produced. Depending on the product and the manufacturing process, the DPI may cover raw materials, partially completed products and/or finished products and their packaging. Production status is verified at this stage. After performing DPI, FRI is performed once Goods are 100% produced and finished.
