Initial Production Check
Initial Production Check or IPC is the special inspection that is carried out at the very beginning of the batch production. It is usually carried out when 20% of the production has been completed. The Initial Production Inspection checks for the quality, quantity, and specifications of raw materials and the accessories associated with the production.
