Closed-Loop Quality Control Process

FPIC applies a closed-loop quality control process from incoming inspection to customer service. This process helps ensure that product risks can be identified, controlled, recorded, traced, and improved throughout the product lifecycle.

Incoming Quality Control
1
FPIC inspects incoming materials, purchased components, cables, terminals, plastic materials, metal materials, and outsourced parts according to project requirements, drawings, specifications, and inspection standards.
First Article Inspection
2
Before mass production, FPIC performs first article inspection to verify product dimensions, appearance, assembly condition, material status, and key functional requirements.
In-Process Quality Control
3
During production, FPIC applies process inspection, operator self-inspection, patrol inspection, automated inspection, and quality control checks to monitor process stability and detect abnormalities in time.
Automated Inspection and Functional Testing
4
For applicable products and processes, FPIC uses automated inspection, CCD imaging analysis, conduction testing, electrical testing, and machine-based inspection to improve consistency and reduce manual errors.
Outgoing Quality Control
5
Before shipment, FPIC checks product appearance, dimensions, electrical performance, packaging, labeling, quantity, and customer-specific requirements to support accurate and reliable delivery.
Customer Service and Continuous Improvement
6
FPIC has dedicated CQE support for customer quality communication, after-sales issue handling, abnormal analysis, technical support, corrective actions, and related quality documentation.

NPI Quality Assurance

New Product Introduction quality control is critical for customized connector development and sample-to-production transfer. FPIC supports quality assurance during the early development stage to reduce design, material, tooling, and process risks before mass production.

NPI Quality Planning

During NPI, FPIC reviews customer drawings, specifications, application conditions, critical dimensions, electrical requirements, mechanical requirements, environmental requirements, testing standards, and production feasibility.

Sample Validation

FPIC uses sample inspection and laboratory testing to verify whether the product design, material selection, structure, and performance meet customer requirements.

Trial Production Control

Before mass production, FPIC confirms production process, inspection methods, tooling status, equipment setup, packaging method, and quality control points through trial production.

Mass Production Transfer

After sample approval and trial production validation, FPIC transfers product requirements into production documents, inspection records, control plans, and process quality standards.

Controlled Documents and Quality Standards

Controlled documentation is an important part of FPIC’s quality system. The Quality Department manages the release and control of key documents to ensure that production, inspection, and quality activities follow approved standards.

This document control helps ensure that engineering requirements, production instructions, inspection standards, and customer requirements are consistently implemented across departments.

FPIC manages controlled documents according to project and system requirements, including:

Procedure documents
Product drawings
SOP documents
SIP documents
Inspection standards
Quality control records
Testing records
Customer-specific quality documents

Quality Testing and Inspection Control

FPIC’s testing and inspection capability supports both production quality control and customer requirement verification. While R&D testing focuses on design validation and sample approval, quality testing focuses on incoming inspection, in-process control, final inspection, abnormal analysis, batch traceability, and continuous improvement.

Through electrical, mechanical, environmental, dimensional, plating, structural, and cleanliness-related verification, FPIC helps ensure that connector and component products meet customer specifications and production quality standards.

Electrical Inspection for Production Quality

FPIC uses electrical inspection to verify connection stability, insulation performance, contact resistance, continuity, and temperature rise performance during production quality control and shipment preparation.
