What is Final Inspection?

Final inspection, also known as pre-shipment inspection (PSI) or final random inspection (FRI), is a comprehensive quality control inspection conducted on finished products before shipment to verify they meet all specifications, function properly, and are ready for customer delivery.

Final Inspection Definition

Core Purpose: Final inspection is the ultimate quality control check completed immediately before product shipment. This critical verification process catches any issues and identifies potential problems with manufacturing processes, product quality, or packaging.

Inspection Timing: Conducted when production is 100% complete (or at least 80% complete and 100% packed, depending on customer requirements) and products are ready for shipment.

Quality Gate: Products must be fully compliant with the final inspection checklist. The purpose is to prevent unqualified products from reaching customers, protecting your company’s reputation and enhancing customer satisfaction.


Final Inspection Characteristics

Comprehensive Verification:

  • Random sampling from finished goods
  • Visual quality assessment
  • Functional performance testing
  • Dimensional verification
  • Packaging inspection
  • Labeling accuracy check
  • Documentation review

Statistical Sampling: Uses AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) sampling methodology to inspect a statistically valid sample representing the entire production batch.

Final Checkpoint: This is your last opportunity to identify and correct problems before international shipping, customs clearance, and customer delivery—when corrections are exponentially more expensive.


Final Inspection vs. Other Inspections

Inspection Sequence in Manufacturing:

1. Pre-Production Inspection (PPI):

  • Before mass production begins
  • Verifies raw materials, components
  • Checks production setup

2. During Production Inspection (DUPRO/IPI):

  • Mid-production monitoring (typically at 20-50% completion)
  • Identifies problems early
  • Allows production corrections

3. Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI/Final Inspection):

  • After production complete ← We are here
  • Verifies finished products
  • Last quality check before shipping

4. Container Loading Inspection (CLI):

  • During container loading
  • Verifies quantity and loading method
  • Ensures cargo security

How to Conduct Efficient Final Inspection

Final inspection is most effective when conducted when at least 80% of production is complete and ready for shipment. Understanding inspector expectations and proper preparation ensures efficient, thorough testing.

Lot Size Sample Size (GII) Accept/Reject (AQL 2.5)
91-150 20 Ac: 1, Re: 2
151-280 32 Ac: 2, Re: 3
281-500 50 Ac: 3, Re: 4
501-1,200 80 Ac: 5, Re: 6
1,201-3,200 125 Ac: 7, Re: 8
3,201-10,000 200 Ac: 10, Re: 11

Interpretation: For 5,000 unit lot at AQL 2.5:

  • Sample size: 200 units
  • Accept if ≤10 major defects found
  • Reject if ≥11 major defects found

Multiple Defect Categories

Separate AQL for Each:

Typically use different AQL for different defect types:

  • Critical: 0 (any critical defect = automatic fail)
  • Major: 2.5 (7-10 defects acceptable depending on sample size)
  • Minor: 4.0 (10-14 defects acceptable depending on sample size)

All categories must pass for overall acceptance.

While often used interchangeably, QC and QA are different approaches to quality management:


Quality Control (QC)

Definition: Quality Control is a product-focused, reactive approach that identifies defects in finished products through inspection and testing.

Characteristics:

  • Focus: Finished products
  • Timing: After production
  • Method: Inspection and testing
  • Goal: Find and remove defects
  • Approach: Detection-based

QC Activities:

  • Final inspection of products
  • Defect identification
  • Product testing
  • Measurement verification
  • Sample inspection
  • Pass/fail determination
  • Defect documentation

QC Purpose:

  • Detect defective products
  • Prevent defects from reaching customers
  • Verify specification compliance
  • Document product quality

Example: Final inspection where inspectors examine finished products, test functionality, and identify defects before shipment.


Quality Assurance (QA)

Definition: Quality Assurance is a process-focused, proactive approach that prevents defects by improving manufacturing processes and systems.

Characteristics:

  • Focus: Processes and systems
  • Timing: Throughout production (preventative)
  • Method: Process improvement and management
  • Goal: Prevent defects from occurring
  • Approach: Prevention-based

QA Activities:

  • Process design and optimization
  • Standard operating procedures (SOPs)
