For OEMs operating in sectors where reliability, precision and repeatability define success, the supply chain isn’t just a back-office function - it’s a core driver of product performance and customer satisfaction.

ATG’s end-to-end supply chain process was built specifically for businesses that cannot afford sourcing uncertainty. From the first prototype discussion to final product delivery, every step is engineered to eliminate risk, accelerate timelines, and ensure total confidence in the parts you receive.

Below, we break down exactly how ATG takes a component from requirement to reality.


1. Requirements Capture & Engineering Alignment
Every successful build starts with a clear and complete technical understanding. ATG’s process begins with:
• Detailed technical reviews
• Drawing and specification validation
• Material, tolerance, and performance requirement mapping
• Feasibility assessments and manufacturability input

Our on-the-ground engineering teams - native speakers based in key manufacturing regions - ensure nothing gets lost in translation. This early alignment prevents the costly misinterpretations that often occur with remote suppliers.

Outcome: A technically correct, manufacture-ready specification that forms the foundation for supplier selection.

2. Supplier Qualification and Factory Auditing
Not every factory can deliver OEM-grade reliability. ATG’s global network of 400+ qualified and verified factories is built through years of inspection, auditing and continuous performance tracking.

Our qualification process includes:
• Factory capability audits
• Quality system assessments (ISO, process control, testing equipment)
• Risk scoring and supplier reliability history
• Sustainability and compliance checks
• Sample portfolio reviews

Only suppliers that meet ATG’s strict criteria enter the sourcing shortlist. This reduces your exposure to inconsistent processes, poor documentation, and quality failures.

Outcome: A trusted, pre-verified manufacturing partner selected specifically for your part and performance requirements.

3. Prototype Production & Validation
Before moving to full production, ATG manages a structured prototype stage:
• First article sampling
• Dimensional reports
• Functional testing and material certification
• Engineering feedback loops with your team

Our local engineers work directly inside the manufacturing facilities to ensure prototypes reflect your requirements, not the supplier’s interpretation of them.

Outcome: Proven fit-for-purpose parts with full quality documentation.


4. Production Management & Quality Assurance
Once prototypes pass validation, ATG oversees the entire production cycle to maintain consistency and minimise risk. Key quality steps include:
• In-process inspections
• Pre-shipment quality checks
• Batch-level traceability
• Independent checks by ATG engineers on the factory floor
• Detailed reporting and sign-off

This removes the uncertainty typically associated with offshore manufacturing and ensures every batch meets your standards - not just the first one.

Outcome: Controlled, repeatable production with measurable quality assurance before anything leaves the factory.


5. Global Logistics, Shipping & Customs Management
Moving parts across borders introduces complexities—freight, duties, port delays, documentation errors, and compliance risks. ATG handles these challenges end-to-end:
• Freight booking and coordination
• Export/import compliance
• Pre-shipment documentation
• Duty and tariff management
• Customs clearance oversight
• Delivery tracking

With teams in manufacturing regions and receiving locations, ATG ensures seamless movement of goods with minimal disruption.

Outcome: On-time delivery with full visibility and reduced risk of unexpected delays or costs.

6. Warehousing, Inventory & Final Delivery
For OEMs requiring flexible stocking strategies or steady production support, ATG offers:
• Regional warehousing
• Buffer stock options
• Scheduled deliveries
• JIT replenishment
• Packaging optimisation for reduced costs and safer transport

Whether you need container-load shipments or batch-delivered components, ATG aligns the supply chain around your production rhythm.

Outcome: Reliable availability of parts exactly when your manufacturing schedule demands them.

7. Continuous Improvement & Long-Term Partnership
ATG’s supply chain process isn’t static. We continuously track:
• Supplier performance
• Defect rates
• Delivery lead times
• Cost trends
• Material availability
• Engineering change requests

With an average partnership length exceeding a decade, OEMs rely on ATG not just for parts, but for a long-term sourcing strategy that evolves with their products and markets.

Outcome: A continuously optimised supply chain with predictable quality, cost and delivery performance.

With ATG, you don’t just source worldwide; you source with eyes, ears, and expertise on the ground.
