How First Article Inspection Supports Repeat Production
Why first-article inspection matters before volume release for drawing-based precision hardware programs.
Why FAI matters
First-article inspection aligns process, gauges and critical characteristics before volume releases. It reduces the risk of discovering print mismatches only after inventory builds.
Scope
FAI depth follows the drawing and purchase agreement — not a generic shop default. Call out CMM or special gauges early when required.
Into repeat production
After approval, in-process and final inspection sustain the release plan. Learn more on the Quality page or start an RFQ.
