Do you work for the buyer or the supplier?

For the buyer. Assignments are undertaken without commercial, financial or operational pressure from the supplier being inspected, and conflicts of interest are identified and managed before mobilization.

How fast can an inspector be on site?

Attendance is coordinated with the supplier once the scope is confirmed, and is governed by the notification and access requirements of the applicable ITP and contract.

What happens when a finding is raised?

Findings that affect schedule, cost or conformity are raised to the buyer the same day as a field alert, with the clause, photographic evidence and recommended action, not held until the report.

T4-TPI-001

Third-party inspection that protects the purchase order

We represent the buyer inside the supplier's shop. Hold, witness and review points are set before manufacturing starts, verified against the specification you bought to, and recorded in evidence you can defend.
