Source Inspection & Supplier Quality
Professional insight, right where your product is made.
When manufacturing takes place at a distant supplier, sometimes in another country thousands of miles away, you need a professional, independent representative protecting your interests.
SMART QA provides source inspection and supplier quality services in Israel and worldwide through a global network of professional inspectors and auditors. We maintain high standards for both our inspections and our inspectors, representing your interests on site with professionalism and independence.
On-site professionals. Central coordination. Clear findings.
Our Services
Source Inspection & Supplier Audits
Our service covers two main areas:
Source Inspection
Supplier inspections across electronics, mechanical engineering, machining, welding, painting, coatings, infrastructure and other fields.
We operate in many countries, including China, India, the United States, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and the Philippines, with additional locations based on customer needs.
For each assignment, we select an inspector based on professional experience, product type and the technical expertise required. We personally know the inspectors we work with, put them through our internal assessment and training process, and coordinate the inspection with the supplier and customer.
Every report undergoes a professional review before it reaches the customer. If a significant finding arises, we notify the customer in real time rather than waiting for the inspection to end and the final report to be issued.
Supplier Audits
Supplier qualification, assessment and follow-up audits in Israel and worldwide, conducted by experienced professional auditors.
While product inspection focuses on the product itself, a supplier audit examines manufacturing processes to assess whether the supplier can consistently meet the required quality standards. Depending on the complexity, technical field and customer requirements, the audit may be conducted by a local specialist or an auditor from Israel. The aim is to provide a reliable picture of the supplier’s capabilities, processes and actual controls, going beyond a review of documents.
We see the inspector as the customer’s eyes at the supplier’s facility. The inspector’s expertise, independence and professional oversight are therefore integral to our service.
