| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: The scope of appraisal is Xiamen location of Tech Valley (Xiamen). No other location is considered. Tech Valley (Xiamen) QMS processes are established at organizational level for Xiamen Location, so “LOCATION” factor is not considered for project selection.)
Customer (Not Relevant: R&D Center develops the data analysis software for different customers. The Tech Valley (Xiamen) QMS processes does not vary and differentiating for different customers so “CUSTOMER” factor is not considered for project selection.)
Size (Not Relevant: The Tech Valley (Xiamen) QMS processes does not vary and differentiating for different size of the projects. So “SIZE” factor is not considered for project selection.)
