As part of our oversight activities of fuel and component suppliers, KLEIN CONSULTING reviews the state of readiness of suppliers prior to beginning manufacturing. The goal of such a review is to establish that the manufacturer has in-place the necessary operational and QA systems in order to assure that the components being produced meet the necessary quality and performance requirements (as well as the customer’s expectations).
In addition, as part of our supplier assessments, we review the Quality culture of suppliers and their staff. The goal of this review is to assure that the overall Quality message is appropriately disseminated and understood at all levels of the supplier’s staff. This is critically important as a way of demonstrating that the QA Program is implemented in such a way as to ensure that all staff (full-time and part-time, management and shop-floor, manufacturing, inspection and maintenance) understand the importance of Quality.
