Quality control audits – Are they really ISO certified? What are their sampling processes and handling procedures? We have in house trained staff that can verify quality processes or be on site to verify quality standards for each shipment.
Schedule verification – There is no mystery to meeting production deadlines, it involves meeting milestone tasks on time. We can verify on site that production is on schedule by reviewing the process and resources dedicated to your product.
Packaging – we can help you with graphic design of the packaging and package your product to your specificationsall the time making sure you have exclusive rights for production of your packaging .
Intellectual property protection – About the only way to protect your rights and keep a product secure in Asia is to build and staff your own manufacturing facility. Once the design is tooled and enters production, the odds are very good that you will not be getting 100% of the total production from contracted suppliers not directly under your management. We offer a number of services to protect your product including such things as in house assembly and packaging. By sourcing components from different manufacturers and assembling in house, we can help you keep control of the product and maintain exclusivity.
Tooling controls – Tooling is expensive and we have tooling control services to reduce your costs and losses. We can offer in house controlled storage of tooling as well as monitoring during production. This helps insure your tools are not making parts for your competition during slow times.
