Supplier Quality Assurance for Electric Vehicles: Mitigating Risks and Fostering Innovation in Critical Component Supply Chains
Manoj Unwala
Abstract: The rapid growth of the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry has created a critical need to uphold high - quality standards across increasingly complex global supply chains. Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA) plays a pivotal role in ensuring that essential EV components-such as battery cells, power electronics, and electric motors-meet rigorous safety and performance benchmarks. This paper delves into the primary challenges in managing supplier quality in the EV sector and highlights best practices, innovative solutions, and emerging technologies that drive continuous improvement. A case study of Tesla?s SQA strategy illustrates the effectiveness of collaborative supplier partnerships, real - time quality monitoring, and corrective action processes. Additionally, the paper explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and sustainable sourcing practices in shaping the future of SQA within the EV industry.
