Where we can help

01

Supplier onboarding

Qualify a new supplier against your requirements. Review capability, quality-system evidence, launch risks, and the actions needed before approval.

You receive: Qualification assessment, evidence gaps, and an owned action plan.

02

Supplier audits

Have Daniel plan and conduct an on-site or remote supplier audit, gather objective evidence, and explain the findings against the agreed requirements.

You receive: Audit plan, findings report, and corrective-action register.

03

Corrective actions

Work through containment, root cause, corrective action, and effectiveness checks. Follow up with the supplier until the agreed closure evidence has been reviewed.

You receive: Evidence-linked actions, owners, due dates, and a closure recommendation.

04

PPAP review and approval support

Review submissions against the requested level and customer requirements. Resolve gaps with suppliers and support the authorized human approval decision.

You receive: Element-by-element findings and a documented disposition recommendation.

05

Quality engineering support

Bring focused help to supplier development, APQP, control plans, PFMEA, measurement systems, process capability, and broader quality engagements.

You receive: A scoped technical review, working documents, or a defined improvement project.
