Our dedication to quality control has allowed GSS to achieve near zero customer returns (.008% customer return rate).
A well-priced part with a fast production time is worth nothing if it doesn’t meet quality standards. Global Sourcing Services (GSS) has developed a dynamic quality control program to ensure that every part we create for you meets your expectations.
Quality assurance starts with our certified supplier network
GSS has a network of fully vetted manufacturers and material suppliers domestically and around the world.
We’ve been working with the same offshore suppliers and quality control companies for years. Some of our relationships go back fifteen years or more. Additionally, all our offshore vendors undergo regular third-party quality audits. The stability of these relationships means more security and less risk for you. You can trust that every member of our certified supplier network is looking out for your best interests and keeping us constantly apprised of how production is going.
Our Certified Supplier Network allows us to quote just about any project. We quote high or low volume jobs, utilizing a wide range of materials and capabilities.
We perform multiple stages of quality checks on all our manufactured components.
The foundation of our quality control promise is our people. Every member of the GSS team is dedicated to quality in everything they do—and we believe quality extends beyond just manufacturing. This means you can count on world-class products, reliable communications, and excellence service, every time.
We also use state-of-the-art quality control systems to back up our team members. We integrate advanced process management technology into every aspect of sourcing and manufacturing, so there’s always an extra layer of monitoring for everything we do.
Professional laboratory testing for all offshore materials.
A quality part is the product of quality materials as well as quality design. We are committed to getting you the best available materials, with no impurities or issues. GSS invests in comprehensive laboratory testing for all raw materials that eventually become your parts. We collaborate closely with our materials suppliers, independent testing laboratories, and manufacturers to conduct testing at multiple stages of product development: prototype, pre-production, and production.
ISO 9001 Certification
Every single part sourced by GSS is subjected to ISO 9001 certified inspection no matter where it’s manufactured. We have long-standing relationships with quality control personnel and auditors in every country where we do business, so you can trust that your parts are being examined at the source by experienced professionals vetted by GSS. This same process is used in all our domestic sourcing partners as well.
Every part that undergoes inspection overseas is subject to a second round of review once it reaches American soil. Our world-class quality control department has years of experience in ISO 9001 compliance. You can trust that a GSS team member will personally evaluate parts from every one of your shipments so that ISO 9001 compliance is guaranteed.
First article inspections (FAI) and production quality checks
In addition to ISO 9001 certification and regular quality audits, we conduct first-article inspections on every job. We carefully review the first few units to ensure that production methods are meeting the standards and specifications of the drawing right from the start.
Many production runs are also subjected to random inspections to check for consistency. Production is monitored by optical automatic smart inspection systems, so we’re alerted to any drifts or changes and can address them immediately. Almost every single source GSS uses has SPC tracking software that is used in tracking how the job is running and is automatically sent to our GSS staff in the event of their being a discrepancy. This means that even when there are problems within production, it is caught on-sight at GSS… Not your facilities floor.
Reliable pricing with offshore no tariff countries
GSS works directly with suppliers in countries without tariffs so we can secure better prices for you on every project. We maintain relationships with trusted providers in several different countries, so you can choose from multiple sourcing options without ever having to factor in the costs of tariffs.
