provide goods or services that meet the purchaser&#8217;s demands.<\/p><p>Supplier quality varies, and as importers, we always seek out high-quality suppliers, hoping they can produce products that meet our ideal standards. However, even if you&#8217;ve found a reputable supplier, you shouldn&#8217;t let your guard down and assume there won&#8217;t be any issues with the products they produce. Many other factors during the production process can affect your <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-finished-goods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">final product<\/a>, such as communication issues between parties and factory production preferences.<\/p><p>Therefore, after reaching an agreement to cooperate with a supplier, it&#8217;s important to stay informed about their production status through proactive communication and specific monitoring methods and procedures. This is known as Supplier Quality Management, abbreviated as SQM. SQM is a process that monitors the quality of suppliers, which is typically an ongoing process.

For small-scale purchasers or smaller companies, SQM might not be necessary due to cost considerations and complex process. However, this doesn&#8217;t mean that small companies don&#8217;t need to consider supplier quality, it just means they don&#8217;t need to strictly adhere to the SQM process or establish specialized quality inspection teams. They have many simpler and more cost-effective methods.<\/p><p>For instance, let&#8217;s consider a toy company with 50 employees that wants to find a factory to produce 3000 plastic toys. Their process for selection, evaluation, and communication would be straightforward.\u00a0<\/p><p>Firstly, the scope of supplier selection for small companies is smaller, which significantly reduces the workload. Additionally, their regular audits wouldn&#8217;t involve overly complex procedures. They wouldn&#8217;t need to submit elaborate analysis reports based on various data metrics; perhaps they&#8217;d submit a simple feedback form at most. Communication with suppliers is often direct, with needs expressed clearly and feedback given promptly.\u00a0<\/p><p>Although the overall process might be less refined, it still ensures supplier quality while boosting efficiency and saving costs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2748874 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2748874\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7bcf828\" data-id=\"7bcf828\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bedd05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4bedd05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a714cd1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a714cd1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d6a73ca\" data-id=\"d6a73ca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0229c6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0229c6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"4\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is the basic process of the SQM system?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a2a2d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a2a2d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/how-to-source-good-suppliers-on-alibaba-completely-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">1.

You need to regularly inspect the supplier&#8217;s production processes, work environment, production personnel, raw materials, components, quality of products, etc.\u00a0<\/p><p>Apart from physical inspections, you also need to establish your own unique supplier management software, which will track and record key quality indicators of the supplier, such as product rejection rate, on-time delivery rate, quality complaint rate, etc., to evaluate supplier performance and promptly identify potential issues. Based on the evaluation results, appropriate measures can be taken (such as continuing production, returning goods, or reprocessing). This approach enables remote auditing for purchasers.\u00a0<\/p><p>Like the supply chain quality management system used by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Procter_%26_Gamble\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Procter &amp; Gamble<\/a> (P&amp;G), which can track the entire supply chain process from raw material procurement to final product delivery. This includes supplier management, quality control, order management, logistics management, inventory management, and more. Through this system, P&amp;G can achieve visualizing and real-time monitoring of the supply chain.<\/p><p>Additionally, some small companies often opt for a third-party auditor to conduct <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-supplier-audit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supplier audits<\/a>. This is because small companies usually lack their own dedicated audit teams, and third-party audits can also avoid any conflicts of interest. In our Jingsoucing&#8217;s cooperation with international purchasers, we often take on the responsibility of auditing suppliers on behalf of the purchasers. For example, we conduct quality inspections on the supplier&#8217;s products and encourage them to improve their products. This helps purchasers avoid a lot of trouble.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b10657 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b10657\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.Continuous Communication with Suppliers<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e91d2bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e91d2bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to regular inspections, maintaining communication with suppliers is essential.

Many times, communication with suppliers can be problematic.&nbsp;<\/p><p>For example, you might find a supplier with suitable prices and reputation, making you satisfied, but then encounter difficulties reaching agreements with the factory personnel. Many suppliers have their own fixed mindset and production preferences and may not be receptive to your improvement requests. Or, when importing goods from foreign countries, you&#8217;ll encounter even more challenges. Not only is language a barrier, but sometimes your ways of thinking may not be on the same page either.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, you must ensure that suppliers clearly understand your product requirements.

For instance, if an automotive parts factory obtains <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IATF_16949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IATF 16949<\/a> certification, it means that it has a qualified quality management system and can consistently provide quality automotive parts.
