Railway supplier quality assurance
A structured programme of audits, inspections and evidence gathering by independent Ricardo experts to ensure suppliers are meeting specified standards.
We provide dedicated teams of rail domain experts to provide objective assessments of your suppliers and their production facilities to ensure expectations around quality and safety - as specified in the procurement process - are being met.
Following a proven, consistent approach through every stage of design and manufacture, our teams will be on-site with your suppliers to monitor progress, review documentation, and verify that processes are aligned with industry best practice, national regulations and standards such as ISO90001.
The assessments and reports produced by our teams will form an important part of your Verification and Validation process, providing reassurance that the final products you receive will be fit for purpose and ready for operation.
