Quality Gates

Quality is managed through decision gates— not one final inspection.

GATE 01

Supplier Qualification

Before deeper commercial commitment.

GATE 02

Technical / Sample Validation

Before mass production.

GATE 03

Production Quality Control

During execution as appropriate to the program.

GATE 04

Pre-shipment Verification

Before goods leave the supplier, when required.

GATE 05

Performance Review

After delivery, so the next decision gets better.

When Issues Happen

Problems are managed througha defined process.

The goal is not to pretend problems never happen. It is to identify them early, communicate clearly and resolve them systematically.
