Pre-production inspection (PPI)
Before materials are cut or molded at scale, confirm that raw materials, colors, molds, and components match the approved sample. PPI catches specification drift early — when corrections are cheapest.
The three inspection stages that prevent costly surprises at destination.

Inspection evidence
Field photos from material checks, sampling, and packing-list alignment — before you read the full guide.

INSPECTION DETAIL
Material checks confirm composition against the approved sample before balance payment.

MATERIAL CHECK
Instrument readings are recorded with photo evidence for the buyer’s release file.

AQL SAMPLING
AQL sampling on workmanship and finish catches carton-level drift before load-out.
Before materials are cut or molded at scale, confirm that raw materials, colors, molds, and components match the approved sample. PPI catches specification drift early — when corrections are cheapest.
For larger orders, inline checks at 20–50% completion verify workmanship consistency and assembly standards. This is especially important for electronics, apparel, and multi-SKU furniture programs.
The final gate before balance payment: verify quantity, random-sample quality against AQL standards, packaging, barcodes, and labeling. KM Enterprises provides photo-documented PSI reports with a clear release or hold recommendation.
