WHY SELECT US

WTS provides professional quality management support for 100% of the time that BMW Spartanburg plants are running. WTS is not an email exchange organization that simply reports what is happening. WTS takes action to support the supplier to meet the needs of BMW and their Tier Suppliers. When action is needed, WTS is there on the line to support the supplier managing the situation. Third party containment costs are high, line stoppage costs are extremely high, and administrative costs on complaints are increasing. BMW Spartanburg is increasing volume and raising baseline quality levels. The increasing quality costs will be substantial for suppliers who do not respond quickly. WTS's experience and on-site support will yield immediate financial benefit to the supplier.
