Pro QC has over 40 years experience in quality control and quality assurance across virtually every industry.
The quality management system (QMS) is a foundational framework that guides organizations to achieve operational and quality excellence through documenting company policies, processes, procedures, and responsibilities.
There are many industry-specific quality management systems, with ISO 9001:2015 being the most recognized and implemented around the world. Other QMS frameworks such as IATF 16949 for the automotive industry, or ISO 13485 for the Medical Device industry use ISO 9001 as a building block and then add specific industry compliance requirements to complete the framework.
Pro QC offers a range of technical audits that assess production capability and performance of your supplier against industry quality standards.

We provide a comprehensive evaluation of the supplier’s policies, documents, procedures, and records to assess their ability to deliver consistent and sustainable quality performance to your organization. A few example standards are listed below and can be clicked for future information.
The most commonly known and globally recognized Quality Management System (QMS) standard within the manufacturing industry.
VDA 6.3 uses a process-based auditing standard for evaluating and improving controls related to new product introduction and manufacturing processes.
The IATF 16949:2016 uses ISO 9001:2015 as its basis and adds specific auto-industry standards. It has replaced the ISO/TS 16949:2009.
ISO 13485:2016 specifies QMS requirements and production-consistency standards for vendors who produce medical devices and related medical services.
Aside from the most commonly used QMS standards and audits listed above, Pro QC also has engineering professionals specialized in the following standards:
We understand that not all factories will voluntarily pursue a certified ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS). Some factories can produce good quality products without specifically adhering to a QMS. Under these circumstances, a bespoke Supplier Quality Audit or Initial Supplier Evaluation can be requested.
A Supplier Quality Audit (SQA) or Initial Supplier Evaluation (ISE) is a cost-effective way for anyone from one-time buyers to large multinational companies to assess the legitimacy of a supplier and ensure the right purchasing decision is being made.
Most of our clients have a portfolio of five to 50+ factories that require quality assessments. Pro QC can work with an internal QA team to create a bespoke Supplier Qualification Program to assess, qualify, and develop the entire supplier portfolio. The usual approach to these programs is outlined below:
