Offshore Overview (cont.)
Offshore Certification Process
• Saturn Requires minimum score of 90% from Partners
• Supplier is certified for production only if the minimum
score of 90% or above is achieved.
• Saturn doesn’t stop there, however. Most
manufacturers in Asia have some percentage of their
operations outsourced. We value complete knowledge
of our supplier base and realize the importance of the
entire manufacturing process.
• That is why we survey any subcontract operations during
the audit as well.
• Because their capabilities will be affecting our end
product…and yours.
