CSS manages high volume composite product qualifications, production line start-ups, and on-going production on our clients' behalf at one of several established, trustworthy ISO Certified China Composite Factories. 

 

Our Overseas Sourcing Assistance programs begin with client engineering and production department meetings to clearly define the product, establish minimum performance requirements, and highlight critical manufacturing operations.  CSS utilizes this sourcing information package to develop composite prototypes in China and obtain preliminary quotations, including unit cost and tooling expenses, for stateside evaluation.

 

With client approval, CSS manages progressively larger composite product pilot runs to demonstrate the vendor's manufacturing capability and consistency.  Pilot run product performance and quality is evaluated in the factory's test laboratory using the client's test methodology.  CSS drives factory resolution of product and process short comings until the client is satisfied with the production line qualification.

 

Quality Control (QC) documentation, including QC Specifications and reporting procedures, is generated for each product line qualification.  CSS uses the QC documentation to manage production start-ups and ensure product conformance from the first shipment to the last.  Our vendor liaison services also include Purchase Order placement, production schedule coordination, production troubleshooting, and product warranty support.
