- ISO 9001 QMS
- Pre-Award
Selecting an unqualified manufacturer is one of the highest risks in global procurement. Before you place a purchase order or release advance payments, QTEK conducts rigorous on-site technical and quality audits at the supplier's facility — verifying that the vendor actually possesses the machinery, engineering competence, quality systems, and production capacity they claim on paper.
What QTEK verifies on every assignment
- 01Verification of legal legitimacy, factory ownership, shop-floor area, and actual manufacturing capability (identifying real manufacturers vs. trading intermediaries)
- 02Quality Management System (QMS) audit against ISO 9001 — document control, material traceability and internal QC procedures
- 03Inspection of production machinery, CNC/welding equipment, calibration status of testing instruments, and in-house laboratory facilities
- 04Evaluation of engineering, QA/QC, and key technical personnel qualifications (welding, NDT, and testing staff certifications)
- 05Review of current shop-floor workload, bottleneck risks, sub-supplier management, and raw material storage / preservation practices
- 06Assessment of Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) standards and housekeeping on the factory floor
