Quality and reliability across your supply chain
Reliable suppliers are one of the hardest problems in modern industry. Supplier audit and development makes sure your commercial partners have structured processes and the real capacity to deliver on time and at the required quality.
We assess suppliers of capital goods, fabrication, machining and special alloys, mitigating risk before fabrication of your project even begins.

Frequently asked questions
How does the supplier approval process work?
We carry out a full assessment of the supplier's production, technical and quality capability through on-site or remote audits, based on specific checklists or on the VDA 6.3 standard, and issue a detailed report with the supplier's risk rating.
Do you follow up on corrective action plans?
Yes. Beyond identifying failures and non-conformities in the audit, we help the supplier build effective action plans using tools such as structured problem solving and 5 Whys, and we monitor implementation to make sure the problem does not recur.
What is the advantage of outsourcing supplier audits?
It gives you a technical and impartial assessment while cutting travel costs and the load on your own team. Our auditors have broad industrial experience and deliver precise diagnostics on fabrication bottlenecks and risks.
