QLS provides a unique working arrangement for both equipment OEMs and their suppliers. For OEMs, the QLS team becomes a part of their quality strategy. We are directed to suppliers who have quality problems in the plant. We act as a supplier’s representative in special projects requiring investigation, engineering, or other types of repair. Using quality inspection technology, we provide a communication bridge to make priorities clear and remedies understood for the OEM and supplier teams working together to assure high-quality assembly of a final product.
For suppliers, QLS is an extension of your company on-site in the OEM’s facility. While we provide quality monitoring, sorting, and containment, our primary role is serving as the liaison between you and your OEM customer. The QLS link generates value for both parties.
