MANAGING CUSTOMER AND
SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS
Our Supplier Quality Assurance experts (SQAs) are the link between you and your supplier(s). If you so wish, our experts can accompany your team temporarily throughout the entire quality assurance process: from the development stage and the early project phase, through the SOP – Start of Production and on into volume production, including a performance test. They coordinate and monitor assurance of quality management, delivery and deadline compliance and they coordinate these operations - also including peripheral areas – to assure optimum and seamless operations. Your benefit: Very often, delays, downtime and sources of errors can be avoided in advance.
