OUR EXPERTISE
Supplier qualification & risk assessment
Supplier risk assessment, factory qualification and supplier development that connect diagnostic findings to corrective action.
Supplier intelligence & qualification
A factory audit is most valuable when it changes what happens next. We assess operational and commercial risk, agree corrective actions and establish a repeatable review cadence. Supplier Risk Score methods organize the evidence so management can compare priorities across the supply base.
Where we focus
- Quality, delivery, cost competitiveness and financial health
- Capacity, tooling, management capability and technology readiness
- Launch performance, country risk and single-source concentration
- Traceability, carbon-data and compliance evidence readiness where relevant
- Cybersecurity and ESG exposure as assessment dimensions, with specialist input where required
- Corrective-action ownership, escalation and recurring supplier performance reviews

From recommendation to implementation.
The assessment creates an improvement action plan. The usual next phase is intensive on-site guidance and coaching to implement the agreed priorities, followed by quarterly visits, scorecard reviews and continued coaching. Scope and cadence are agreed around the business need.
