Today’s supply chains are increasingly globalized, presenting a challenge for quality control effectiveness. This is driven by the need to increase cost-effectiveness, resulting in greater distances between suppliers, more specialist activity being allocated to sub-suppliers and sub-contractors, and a dynamic where contracted expertise competes with supplier-employed resources.
