Inspection & Verification

Vendor Inspection & Surveillance

Quality surveillance at manufacturer and supplier facilities to verify compliance with approved drawings, specifications, ITPs and purchase-order requirements.

Why it matters

When several vendors are manufacturing in parallel, quality issues can stay hidden until delivery. Regular, independent visits keep each order visible.
