The Elemica QUALITY | Supplier Quality Management

Business Challenge

Commercialization strategies evolve, supply chains expand, and production rates accelerate.

The only way to take control of your future is to double down on quality.

The cost of poor quality is so closely related to supplier quality and compliance that manufacturers must give the proper attention and resources to the optimization of their upstream partnerships.

Finished products have high ratios (average 50%) of sourced or procured product content.

Today’s challenge is to lower the finished product defect rate by emphasizing supply chain quality.
