ATS expects suppliers to meet all engineering specifications and continuously improve their products and services through process performance optimization and through reductions in process variation.
Quality is defined as products and services that meet the customer’s expectations at a cost representing value.
While various ATS functions will assist the supplier in improving quality, the responsibility ultimately remains with the supplier.
