We believe quality begins with communication and clarity of purpose.

A successful project must have a robust, yet easy to use system of communication and control to ensure standards and deadlines are met. The challenge for everyone to keep their eye on the ball becomes increasingly difficult when project teams are widely dispersed in geography, culture and methodology.

VAST Global Manufacturing utilizes a combination of techniques to improve communications between its supplier partners and its clients while reducing the risk of quality problems that can so easily creep into an outsourced project.

We only consider supplier partnerships with companies that have achieved ISO9001 and ISO14000 certification, are RoHS-compliant and that work to the highest standards of their specific industries.

Partner selection occurs only after an arduous vetting cycle which includes site audits, process reviews, article inspections (WIP and finished goods), reference checks (end customers, vendors, creditors) and trial runs.

We audit our partners every year to ensure consistent compliance to industry standards and to pro-actively manage supply trends.

We conduct supplier evaluations throughout every project and during all stages; beginning at the design cycle and continuing through manufacturing, inspection, packaging and shipping.

We employ a leading-edge information-sharing system that enables all parties involved to input and review real-time project data, ensuring that critical changes are communicated and acted upon immediately (ie: ECOs, component EOL, raw materials shortages, DFM issues, transportation delays, etc).

We treat our clients' projects as if they were our own, and operate as primary or secondary Project Manager to monitor quality, service, milestones and deadlines
