Supplier Quality Management

Supplier Quality Management (SQM) is the process of ensuring that the materials and services received from suppliers meet a company's quality standards. It involves evaluating and monitoring suppliers, setting quality expectations, and conducting regular assessments. Effective SQM helps prevent defects, enhances product reliability, and boosts customer satisfaction. By fostering strong relationships with suppliers and collaborating on quality improvements, companies can reduce costs associated with poor quality and streamline operations, ultimately leading to better products and services for customers.
