The process for creation of porcelain is a very complex one, characterized by several physic and chemical transformations of the raw materials used to obtain the final product.

Porcelain is a ceramic material obtained by burning of the raw materials, including clay as kaolin. The burning is made in a kiln at a temperature that reaches 1400 °C. The resistance and the transparency come mostly from the formation of the glass that covers the surface of the product (the glaze) and of the minerals inside the product burned at these high temperatures.

As basic rules that had to be respected in order to obtain a high quality porcelain should be:

• use of raw materials of the best quality
  
• use of high technology
• permanent qualification of all the employers
• cleanliness of the working place (the production hall)

By its destination, the porcelain is divided in various categories:

• tableware porcelain (plates, cups, trays, bowls etc.)
• decoration porcelain (knitted baskets, statuettes, vases etc)

Also, tableware porcelain in divided, by means of the technology used to make it, in:

• porcelain obtained through forming (made on machines with high productivity) – mostly porcelain articles with symmetric shape
• porcelain obtained by casting (made by hand – low productivity) – porcelain articles with asymmetric shape
  

This entire technological process lasts 5 working days, since the moment of the reception of the raw materials until the moment when the final product, made with these raw materials, is delivered to the beneficiary.

So, during this time, each and every error in the technological process will be seen only at the end of those 5 days. This particular aspect of the porcelain involves very high risks, because during this time the production is made in various technological phases, and if there is to be found some nonconformity next to the final product, the whole lot of products existent in different stages of production at that time will be rejected.
