“As our supplier network grew in China, we needed a reliable way to maintain strong oversight without sending our own team overseas for every audit. The LeanRAQA team allowed us to have experienced resources on the ground, so we could keep moving without adding unnecessary travel, cost, and complexity.” — Vice President, Quality & Operations, U.S.-based medical device manufacturer
Expanding your supplier network into China can open up new opportunities for your business.
It can also make something as routine as a supplier audit a whole lot more complicated.
Your company may be qualifying a contract manufacturer for the first time. Maybe it’s time for a routine supplier audit. Or perhaps a quality issue has surfaced and you need someone on site sooner rather than later.
The need for the audit is pretty straightforward.
Getting your own team there? Not always.
Visas. International flights. Language differences. Scheduling. Travel costs. Time away from everything else your team is doing.
It all adds up quickly.
LeanRAQA extends your team’s reach into China.
