Ensuring Product Integrity

Safeguard your supply chain

Quality CONTROL Components

Quality Management Program

Each component goes through a series of rigorous quality inspections to ensure detection of any discrepancies.

Strict vendor management

Source 1 researches & prequalifies vendors to ensure that products are procured from only safe and reputable sources. Once a vendor passes the initial background checks, they are only given “cautionary” approval status until proven as a trusted supplier, and as they are added to an “approved vendor list,” we continue to systematically monitor them. We periodically re-qualify each supplier based upon set criteria, including product quality history, performance & service fulfillment.

Rigorous quality inspection

Quality inspection is an essential function in our quality management process, ensuring that any counterfeit & substandard components are stopped before going on to design manufacturers. We follow a zero-tolerance policy for discrepancies of any kind. Each component is put through a series of rigorous quality inspections, so that any potential discrepancies are detected early on.
