What is First Article Inspection? John Spacey, updated on
First article inspection is the detailed measurement and analysis of the initial results of a production process to make sure that results match specifications. For example, the first vehicle produced by a new production line may be tested extensively to make sure its properties match requirements. Despite the name, first article inspection isn't necessarily conducted on the very first item produced by a production process. In many cases, the first item has obvious problems that are corrected before a detailed analysis is performed. Generally speaking, first article inspection continues until the production process produces items that pass. After first article inspection, every article may be tested according to a less rigorous process or random samples may be tested as opposed to every article.
