Quality Resident Engineer Services
Our team of Quality Resident Engineers is the proactive solution to your quality concerns at Tesla.
Supplier Link Services’ team of onsite engineers will provide you with early notification of potential problems and the ability to investigate the issue at the assembly plant. We understand the difficulty of managing parts once they’ve left your facilities, and the high costs associated with sending your own representative. Supplier Link Services offers an effective solution. Our engineers work with you to improve communication and response time. Depending on your needs, you instruct your on-site rep to provide the necessary data and feedback.
We will not eliminate the need for you to visit Tesla, but we can improve the productivity and reduce the frequency of your visits. An onsite rep provides value to your company by eliminating the need for inspections or greatly reducing the scope required.
