Engineering, technical sourcing, supplier quality, and program leadership across Asia. We help your team develop products, select capable suppliers, and carry the work through to production.
Engineering & technical sourcing
AsianOPS leads the technical work and supplier coordination that turn a product requirement into a production program.
Design / develop / validate
Mechanical design, electronics, firmware, DFM, prototyping, tooling, and NPI. Engage our team for a technical challenge or a program from concept through manufacturing release.
Explore engineering servicesSource / qualify / develop
Supplier searches, RFQs, capability assessments, specialized component sourcing, second-source options, and production transitions. On-site follow-through from selection to supplier readiness.
Explore technical sourcingMedical devices
For U.S. specification developers and finished-device manufacturers using Asian contract manufacturers, responsibilities follow the operations and authority each party actually holds. We map the establishment roles, design authority, approvals and records before we define the quality program.
Where the Asian manufacturer owns the underlying design or the U.S. company is operating under a private-label arrangement, we first establish the actual regulatory roles and record ownership before defining the program.
Where this differs from an audit: an audit tells you what the factory is doing. This work establishes who owns what between the two companies, and closes the evidence gaps on both sides.
Programs
EquatorOps platform
The EquatorOps platform creates the approved quality record at the boundary between the specification owner and manufacturer. Each party retains its private commercial and proprietary records, while AsianOPS can administer the shared workspace and lead China-side execution.
Core expertise
Gain confidence in your overseas manufacturing with rigorous on-site supplier audits, ensuring your partners in China and Southeast Asia meet the highest quality and regulatory standards.
Our consulting and audit work is informed by manufacturing programs led by the AsianOPS team. Our sister manufacturing company, BOMQuote.com, operates the Shenzhen factory. That experience gives our team firsthand knowledge of supplier quality systems, manufacturing processes, and production challenges.
Our approach
Automated FDA status monitoring New
Our Facility Compliance Engine checks FDA databases weekly rather than annually, so a lapse surfaces before it reaches your dock.
Why monitor continuously? Catch registration lapses, import alerts, and fee arrears before they disrupt your supply chain. These are public status signals that indicate supplier or shipment risk. They complement supplier qualification and quality-system auditing rather than replacing either.
