Final Random Inspection (FRI)
Final Random Inspection ensures that the lot being shipped meets the customer’s requirements without relying solely on in-process checks.
Inspectors apply AQL sampling to determine sample size and acceptance criteria.
Scope of an FRI
Teams verify workmanship, labeling, packaging, functional tests, and carton drop requirements on randomly selected units.
Results are documented with defect counts by severity to support pass, hold, or fail decisions.
When issues surface
If inspectors uncover systemic issues, shipments are blocked until containment and rework plans are approved.
Quality managers may raise nonconformance reports to capture the incident and trigger corrective action.
