Evaluation And Management Of Vendor-Qualified Thermal Solutions

By Travis Hudson, Singota Solutions

Evaluating vendor qualification of thermal solutions is not an indictment of the vendor; it is due diligence in an industry where risk guides nearly all decision-making, as well as many regulatory mandates. Usage of a system can be justified based on a vendor’s qualification in many cases, but no single model is all-inclusive.

Singota’s vendor qualification evaluation process examines the criteria the vendor used — thermal profile, maximum and minimum bracketing of payload sizes, thermal probe placement, etc. — and determines how that vendor’s established system fits each client’s business model, ensuring solutions are employed optimally. We also constantly reevaluate what is happening in the world and in our clients’ operational spheres, revisiting the solutions we have in place to determine anything that should be tweaked to provide the best service possible.
