Why This Is Needed
A supplier can look professional and still fail technically. The most dangerous supplier is not always fake. It may be a real factory that is simply wrong for the product, tolerance, test flow, or launch timeline.

Factory Technical Due Diligence
A factory visit or website review is not enough. FactoryFrontier evaluates process capability, equipment, NPI systems, test capability, engineering responsiveness, relevant product experience, and true production readiness.
What FactoryFrontier Does
- Assess production processes, key equipment, process windows, and equipment limitations.
- Review NPI discipline, engineering change handling, test setup, and quality feedback loops.
- Check experience with similar products and whether the team has solved comparable problems.
- Use real engineering questions to evaluate responsiveness instead of relying on sales claims.
What You Receive
- Factory technical due diligence report.
- Production readiness score by process, test, quality, and engineering support.
- Risk list covering capacity, equipment, NPI, testing, yield, and launch discipline.
- A recommendation to approve, conditionally approve, or replace the supplier.
