Effectively assess the quality of your supplier

Inspection services are often useful in assessing the quality of a product. However, detecting product defects is a reactive approach because detection comes after the product has already been made. Moreover, inspection only gives you a snapshot of a manufacturer’s quality performance. If you want to take a proactive quality assurance approach with your supplier, the focus should be on assessing two crucial components:

1. Quality Management System
2. Vendor Compliance

Quality Management System (QMS) – The quality of your product is supported by the level of operational excellence in any given manufacturing processes, which is in turn supported by an effective quality management system. Each manufacturing industry has their own industry specific QMS with which factories need to comply.

Vendor Compliance – The integrity of your suppliers is often determined by complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as an internal code of conduct, policies and procedures, and other compliance requirements from your supply chain. Aside from standard regulations, many big retailers have their own Supplier Code of Conduct requirements to ensure the practice of responsible sourcing and to protect and maintain their brand value.
