Quality Assurance (QA) in procurement is a system of continuous improvement that ensures the quality of goods and services purchased from suppliers for companies. QA processes allow organizations to assess their suppliers and verify that the products they are buying meet the specified standards and regulations. It involves reviewing current practices, analyzing potential deficiencies, and developing strategies to ensure top-notch efficiency and quality throughout the procurement process. By ensuring that only high-quality and compliant products are acquired, organizations can minimize costs associated with performance issues and rework due to poor quality. This also helps foster long-term relationships between suppliers and customers.
