Quality issues often occur because the manufacturer has no control plan, the buyer has not defined good product specifications, and the factory’s internal QC & testing processes are inadequate.
When consulting you, Sofeast’s experienced supplier quality engineers and technicians help solve all of these problems and keep them from reoccurring by fixing them at the root.
The goal here is to ensure that a factory follows a whole logical quality process and can put themselves in a position to continually improve, not just focus on QC alone, as many Chinese/Asian suppliers skip the Quality Planning and Quality Improvement phases entirely.

Your quality risks are reduced by our supplier quality engineers and technicians in a preventive manner. More consistent quality comes from processes that are in better control. In the end, it means lower costs and fewer unexpected delays for you.
Consulting from supplier quality engineers is invaluable if quality issues (and the delays they trigger) are expensive for your company.
This is mostly a preventive approach – ensuring the systems are in place before things can slip out of control.
We start with your needs and suggest the most appropriate approach. We give a quotation depending on the competencies needed and the location of the factory/ies.
Many such projects are quoted 850 USD per man-day + expenses for a senior engineer. If you only need a technician, pricing is lower.
Please provide as much detail as possible, our project managers will review your information and get back to you.
Please enter your contact information and tell us about your project. We will reach out to you shortly to discuss this solution and arrange a quotation.
Our involvement is often a mix of on-site work (together with the manufacturers’ staff) and office work (following up, reviewing documents and videos…).
Some clients like to have our auditors come back every 6-12 months and, as part of their work, check if the systems we have put in place are still effective. This is a good way of keeping pressure on the manufacturer and avoiding regression. (This is an LPA audit).
The type of report is often standard (checklist, process flowchart, FMEA, control plan, corrective action plan, 8D problem solving process…). Sometimes the deliverable itself is what suits best the needs of the situation (e.g. a work instruction in the form of a video).
