What is a Pilot Run ? Before full production begins, toy manufacturers do a “Pilot Run.” This is a smaller scale production that allows to observe the entire manufacturing process and check its conformity. A pilot run is typically a mini mass production: instead of making, say, 5000 pieces straight away, you will make 100, then 500 to see how the production goes. If it goes well, then you will make 5000 pieces or more. You can see it like a testing production.
