We would travel to the ends of the earth
to enhance the quality of our products.

In fact, we just did.

– Sarah Nugent, Global Interconnect’s Director of Quality

Sarah Nugent, Global Interconnect’s Director of Quality, recently traveled to Asia to visit our China offices, manufacturing sites, and suppliers. Her goal was to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen relationships, and maintain industry-leading quality standards for Gii’s medical device original equipment manufacturing (OEM) customers.

At Global Interconnect, we take immense pride in enhancing quality standards and supplier development. Through our integrated approach of education, process optimization, staying informed, and fostering personal interactions, we exceed customer expectations and build strong, long-lasting supplier partnerships.

During my recent visit to Asia, I strongly emphasized supplier education, ensuring that partners were well-informed about the evolving requirements of medical device OEMs. The primary focus was providing updates on our QMS (Quality Management Systems), risk management, and supply chain management. This dedicated effort highlights our unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding quality and fostering strong partnerships throughout the medical device manufacturing industry.

“We’re trying to ensure a robust alignment with our objectives
and our customers’ requirements in the future.”

Staying up to date with industry advancements and investing in the development of suppliers, partners, and quality were vital aspects of Gii’s ongoing success. So one of the highlights of my mission was optimizing lean manufacturing practices through line controls, process controls, and the implementation of 5S techniques. We’re trying to elevate [them] to ensure a robust alignment with our objectives and our customers’ requirements in the future.

Through this type of direct engagement, we actively seek feedback, understand specific challenges, and further strengthen our nearly 30-year relationships.
