Moving Beyond ASL with Design Controls and Supplier Management

Without proper design controls and supplier management, creating a digital footprint for your products – so you can improve quality, traceability and guarantee compliance – becomes impossible. Even from the beginning of your design and verification process, your Level 1 and Level 2 manufacturers can impact your product risk, design, and needed controls. Ensuring these manufacturers are properly vetted through component qualification reduces the likelihood of incorporating incorrect parts into your product design.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how you can start taking steps to upgrade your ASL (Approved Supplier List) to an Approved Manufacture Listing (AML) that fits into your quality plans. Learn how to build practical data structures to start your product digital threads and provide the needed visibility so your suppliers and manufacturers can build high-quality products that your customers will swear by.
