Supplier Quality Assurance
Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA) is a process that companies use to ensure their suppliers consistently provide materials, components, or services that meet quality standards. It involves evaluating and monitoring suppliers' practices, performing inspections, and verifying that their products match the required specifications. The goal is to prevent defects early, reduce rework or waste, and ensure the final product is reliable and safe. By working closely with suppliers and maintaining quality checks, companies can build strong partnerships and deliver high-quality products to customers.
