Getting Started
Some of SQA’s most successful Managed Inspection Programs have begun with a single, typically challenging, inspection requirement. Feel free to talk to a Program Manager or Engineering Specialist about your needs, without obligation. All we need to get started on your program is your:
- Procedures, SOPs, Training material, Checklists, etc., in electronic format or otherwise (or SQA can provide these)
- Suppliers to be inspected, including product details, locations and time frames
- A purchase order or signed contract
… and SQA’s service team will direct all your inspection requirements to your satisfactory completion.
SQA Services has allowed us to ride the peaks and valleys of our business. By outsourcing our inspection programs to SQA, we get the same performance as when we did it ourselves - but only pay for what we used. SQA saves us time and reduces our costs.
