Standby Inspections
When quality problems strike, you need boots on the ground — now.
Sigma’s Standby Inspection Plans provide OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with guaranteed access to certified inspectors — deployable to your facility or supplier sites within hours. Whether it's incoming material issues, supplier fallout, or line-stopping defects, we’re on standby so you don’t have to scramble.
Our flexible retainer + activation model ensures you’re never left waiting when quality emergencies strike.
What Is a Standby Plan?
A Standby Inspection Plan is a pre-arranged service agreement that ensures Sigma’s rapid-response quality teams are available to you whenever a critical issue arises. With a simple annual retainer, you reserve a spot in our high-priority deployment queue.
When an issue occurs, you activate the service with a single call — and we deploy certified inspectors, typically within 24 hours
How Does it Work
-
Choose from Basic, Premium, or Enterprise tiers to lock in priority access to Sigma’s certified inspectors. This annual retainer ensures you're at the front of the line when quality issues arise.
-
When you need us — whether it’s incoming inspection, supplier fallout, or line stoppage — simply call to activate your plan. Our team mobilizes rapidly, often within 24 hours.
-
We deploy 2 certified inspectors (or more, based on need) to your site or supplier location. They begin containment, sorting, rework, or inspection immediately upon arrival.
-
Our team documents findings in real time and delivers daily reports to your quality leadership. Any critical issues are escalated immediately to your internal or supplier teams.
-
Need additional inspectors, support across multiple shifts, or assistance at another site? We scale the deployment to fit your needs — seamlessly and without disruption.
