Protecting Your Production: How Big Rock Manages Vendor and Supplier Risk for You
Big Rock Machining is an AS9100D certified machine shop with strict documentation and quality control processes built to deliver high-tech manufacturing for critical industries. Our supplier network is held to the same standards.
Because when your parts are critical, every link in the chain matters.
How We Evaluate and Approve Vendors and Suppliers
When selecting vendors and suppliers, our team uses a strict process to ensure we can trust them with your precision parts and complex assemblies.
Before onboarding a vendor, we evaluate them using strict qualification criteria.
Communication
A clear and consistent connection is essential for success. We expect responsiveness, transparency, and proactive updates to keep projects on track.
Capabilities
Partners must demonstrate proven high-tech manufacturing services aligned with our customers’ needs, including complexity and tolerance requirements.
Certifications
We prioritize suppliers with certifications that mirror our own.
Documentation
Operations must be documented to ensure traceability, certifications, and inspection records.
Additionally, our Quality Assurance Requirements outline specific expectations our partners must follow for every shipment.
This level of accountability protects our customers, their parts, and their project timelines.
Reducing Risks for Critical Industries
We serve industries where failure is not an option, including aerospace, defense, robotics, and telecom.
If jobs have to leave our shop for downstream processing, customers don’t have to worry about quality issues or delays because we continuously evaluate our partners to minimize risk.
Per AS9100, we formally rate our suppliers and monitor performance over time. In the rare instance that we come across a quality issue, it is addressed immediately and corrected. We always take the required steps to prevent it from happening again.
Customer Benefits: A Single Point of Accountability
