With the continual financial pressure on the produce industry many see quality control as a burdensome overhead that can be reduced to increase profits. This can be true, but statistically it can be shown that to do so actually reduces profits through quality claims, product rejection and most alarming loss of customer. Technical services equally can be seen by many as a large financial commitment for little physical return but as more and more customers, authorities and even governments now require these small and medium sized enterprises require assistance in meeting their obligations. To date the services provided to meet the needs of a small to medium sizes enterprise for quality control services have been expensive with cost spiralling upwards as soon as there is a problem. This is in part due to no one company offering a full set of services to meet customers needs worldwide so when an issue occurs there may be as many as 4 or 5 companies involved, FQS intends to change that.
