FACTORY AND SUPPLIER AUDIT

An audit of a plant or factory is usually conducted by an internal or external auditor. The audit begins with a standard evaluation of the supplier or plant, after which the process of continuous improvement is initiated.

The quality of your products is maintained by the level of operational excellence in each specific manufacturing process, which, in turn, is supported by an effective quality management system. Each processing industry has its own specific QMS (Quality Management System) that enterprises must comply with.

Do not limit yourself to controlling the quality of finished products. Assess the capabilities of suppliers using our audits before placing each order at a new factory.

Finding product defects is a reactive approach because the defect is found only after the product has been manufactured. It cannot be fixed; it can only be rejected, the batch can be refused, or a discount can be negotiated. Essentially, the customer has lost both time and money by initially placing their order at a facility where it shouldn't have been placed.

If you want to take a proactive approach to ensuring product quality with a new manufacturer, make sure to order a factory audit before placing an order.

The integrity of your suppliers is often determined by their adherence to all applicable requirements, rules, regulations, internal codes of conduct, policies, and procedures, as well as other compliance requirements within your supply chain.
