Regulating Supply Chain Security at the Source Enhancing Industrial Efficiency

In the contemporary intelligent industrialized society, any product appearing in the user is the result of the orderly cooperation and group efforts of many suppliers. Take automobile as an example, generally speaking, the host factory has at least hundreds of core suppliers, and there are other sub-suppliers under these suppliers, the inverted tree structure of the link constitutes the ecology of the automobile supply chain, which is crucial for the host factory, and will affect the performance of the product. In QIMA's view, systematic management of the supply chain is an important part of its product management.

Melvin Tang, Sales Director of QIMA, said："Regulating supply chain security at the source reduces the risk of product non-compliance or recall to a greater extent. In today's rapidly growing economy in China, having real-time visibility into your supply chain can help you quickly identify issues and make timely and favorable decisions in a competitive marketplace. QIMA provides supplier auditing, lab testing and product inspection services for global brands, retailers and importers, with real-time operation panels that intelligently manage, measure and identify high-performing suppliers to ensure their supply chains are secure and reliable."

At the Supply Chain Innovation Summit, QIMA's online operation panel was attracted by the attending guests. This is a dynamic supplier "tracking" system, in which customers can keep abreast of the supply chain and suppliers, view supply chain data such as KPIs, supplier rankings, audits and product pass rates, and make timely decisions.

Multi-dimensional audits to understand the supplier's business

In addition to providing information on suppliers in real time, another important service of QIMA, as a leading international provider of quality control services, is to ensure the quality of suppliers. For example, during a specific project audit, an independent auditor will visit the supplier's production facilities and analyze the supplier's capacity, quality management system, structural safety, social responsibility compliance or environmental impact.

Currently, QIMA provides services including social responsibility audits, manufacturing audits, structural audits, environmental audits, C-TPAT audits, and food supplier audits.
