Your product quality is why your customers buy your products. It's the first thing that people say when they hold a product in their hands - 'wow, that product has great quality, that company is fantastic'. AMREP is the go-to company for putting your business in that position. We utilize a proactive quality control and problem-solving approach so that you don't find yourself chasing quality issues or with unsatisfactory shipments at your door. By this time, it's already too late.
Even if your costs of receiving defective products aren't high, or even if your supplier's quality performance is very high, having on-site supplier quality control gives you the assurance that there is somebody with your business interests in mind who's checking on your products and maintaining your quality expectations. There's also somebody who can solve quality issues even before they arise - this is far more effective and efficient than following-up on quality issues after you've received your product shipments
Whether it be small batch productions or high volume manufacturing situations, a multi-national contract manufacturer or small factory facility, we have the expertise to address all your quality and supplier quality management needs. Our staff are experienced quality engineering professionals with extensive hands-on manufacturing backgrounds.

Kathleen Morgan, Engineering Director
Electronics/ consumer tech
Our company makes cutting edge robotic solutions for aged care. We’re a small company who needed to focus our resources on developing our engineering team; it would have been really expensive for us to develop our own in-house quality and manufacturing team. We found that AMREP was an excellent way of outsourcing our QA/QC function at an affordable cost - we obtained the expertise we needed, and we had AMREP engineers who could work directly with our vendors to implement our manufacturing requirements.
Hayley Williams, Director of Manufacturing
Consumer Products
AMREP is our pre-shipment inspections partner at our sourcing locations in Asia and Mexico. We’ve been with them for more than 10 years. We like that their quality engineers and operations managers train the inspector teams themselves and take the time to properly study our products so that they apply the right inspection techniques.
Charles Bateman, Director of Operations
Health Tech
Choosing AMREP’s supplier management solutions was a brilliant move for our business. By having an AMREP SQE at our contract manufacturer site in Mexico, we saved considerable amounts of time and money in having to send our own team over although we’re based in the US. One major advantage was having somebody onsite who could follow up on the CAPA items we requested of the supplier.
Henry Jackson Lee, Director of Supply Chain

It's not a bad idea to have third party supplier quality management even if you don’t have quality problems with your supplier. In our very volatile world, anything can happen and your supplier situation can change very quickly. They may experience production problems that will affect your next shipment, they may make an error because the suppliers staff, especially production line workers, change all the time. By having a third party supplier quality management company, you at least have boots on the ground who can check on the supplier and keep an eye on what's going on, and just see if everything is on track for you.
They don’t have to be there all the time. Supplier quality management companies have flexible price options and will be able to tailor something according to your work requirements and budget.
A third party quality control company or quality assurance provider will help you with effectively meeting your product quality, supplier performance, and quality assurance system objectives.
