247 audits.
Zero repeat findings.
Don't take our word for it.

The Trigger

A Tier 2 stamping supplier in Monterrey had passed two consecutive internal audits. Production volumes were doubling and the engineering team was too embedded in the ramp to run a credible independent review.

“They found a process drift in the hardening cycle that our own team had normalized over eighteen months. That finding alone saved us a recall. I don't know what the exposure would have been — I don't want to know.”

The Trigger

A $47M commercial build was three weeks from certificate of occupancy. The client's own QA team had been on-site since month two — familiarity was the liability. We needed eyes that had never seen the building before.

“The hairline crack in the transfer beam wasn't visible from the inspection walkway. They used a borescope in a location nobody had specified. That's not procedure — that's judgment. That's what I paid for.”

The Trigger

A new co-manufacturing partner was coming online to handle overflow production during peak season. Our internal team had validated the facility on paper but hadn't conducted a live-process HACCP verification under production conditions.

“They ran the verification during a full production shift, not a staged walkthrough. They found two CCP monitoring gaps that only appear under load. That's the only way to find them — and they knew that.”

The Trigger

A casting supplier was reporting 0.8% defect rate internally. Our incoming inspection at the assembly plant was running 3.1%. Someone was either measuring wrong or reporting selectively. We needed a third party with no relationship to either side.

“The discrepancy was in the measurement method, not the parts. The supplier's CMM calibration had drifted. It was nobody's fault but it was everybody's problem. Having a neutral party document it changed the entire conversation.”

The Trigger

A subcontractor was running behind schedule and had started deploying uncertified welders on secondary structural connections. The general contractor's site supervision had accepted verbal assurances. We were brought in by the owner at practical completion.

“Seventeen connections needed re-work. Every one of them was a secondary connection — nothing that would have caused an immediate failure. But in a seismic zone, secondary connections are not secondary. They understood that without being told.”

The Trigger

A machined components supplier had been on our approved vendor list for six years. A process change notification had been submitted and approved eighteen months prior. We had never sent anyone to verify the change had been implemented as documented.

“The change hadn't been fully implemented. The supplier had done 80% of what they'd committed to and assumed the rest was equivalent. In aerospace, equivalent is not the same as compliant. They knew that. We knew that. The supplier learned it.”

The Trigger

A critical pressure vessel was 14 weeks behind schedule at a fabricator in South Korea. The delivery date was contractually tied to a plant commissioning milestone worth $2.1M in incentive payments. We had no visibility into what was actually causing the delay.

“They were on-site in Seoul within 72 hours. The delay wasn't fabrication — it was a documentation hold on the material traceability package. Three days of focused expediting and the hold was lifted. The vessel shipped on a revised schedule that recovered eight of the fourteen weeks.”

The Trigger

IATF recertification was due in four months. The previous cycle had resulted in two major non-conformances that required special auditor attention. The registrar had flagged the site for enhanced surveillance. We needed an independent readiness assessment.

“They came in with the previous audit report and worked through every finding systematically. They weren't looking for new problems — they were verifying that the old ones were genuinely closed. That's a different skill and they had it.”
