Quality Control: • Vendor Managed Programs • At GreatElectronics, quality assurance begins with our commitment to source quality products from electronics suppliers around the world. • Trusted & Verified • Through our vendor managed program, we carefully research and prequalify our vendors to ensure product is procured from safe and reputable sources. In addition, we thoroughly prescreen all prospective vendors based on a rigorous set of product quality, dependability, and service standards. • Once a supplier is added to the V-strong “approved vendor list,” we continually monitor and grade each supplier based upon a set criteria, including product quality history, performance and service fulfillment – identifying any potential problems or concerns well in advance, before product ever reaches our customers. Quality Inspection Process Level 1: Visual Inspection Visual inspection and authenticity verification is conducted on all incoming materials by V-strong inspectors. Visual inspection review includes:
Level 2: Engineering Review Materials identified as questionable during the visual inspection process are reevaluated by V-strong staff engineers. Product sampling plans are also employed to ensure product consistency. Engineering review includes: Review of level 1 findings
