Liaison Services
When overseas or far away from your customer our Proactive Liaison Service has major benefits for you. PLS delivers:
> Customer satisfaction:
A weekly visit whether there are issues or not shows a commitment to the customer
> Customer relationships:
Effective liaison builds a relationship between the site Engineer and the QRS representative of your company
> Early warning of potential problems:
Formal and informal contacts (particularly at POF) can often head off or reduce the impact of a concern. In addition during a weekly visit QRS will audit line side product on agreed criteria and you will be first to know of any potential problems
> Cost and resource savings:
Reduces the necessity for you to send your own resource to deal with a concern, better off on your own facility resolving issues and concerns. If you are an overseas supplier this reduces the obvious expense on air fares and hotels and, given today's concerns with air travel reduces the need for frequent overseas travel.
> Submission of Daily Activity Reports, walk through PPAP, control / organise line trials, control / organise C & I

At QRS Limited we have the network and calibre of personnel to manage, field or aid in the process of concern management.
We can offer specific or generic training on the topic either at our offices or on-site at your premises. We can coach your personnel on specific issues and customer requirements.
The general methodology is standard, however certain customers' bespoke paperwork or requirements can be different. Here we can aid you in a support role by completing these documents.
Where QRS are allowed access or have residency we can field the quality concerns raised by the customer with a hands on approach.
