A Factory Audit is a crucial step in ensuring that your suppliers are capable of consistently delivering high-quality, compliant, and reliable products. Working with unverified or low-performing factories can lead to financial losses, shipment delays, compliance issues, and serious damage to your brand reputation. Our Factory Audit Inspection services provide a comprehensive evaluation of a supplier’s capabilities, systems, and compliance before you enter into any agreements or place orders. This helps you make informed decisions and minimize supply chain risks.
What We Evaluate During a Factory Audit:
- Company Legitimacy & Legal Compliance – Verification of business licenses, certifications, and regulatory adherence.
- Production Capacity – Assessment of machinery, production lines, and workforce to ensure they can meet your volume requirements.
- Quality Management System (QMS) – Review of processes in line with ISO 9001 or other relevant international standards.
- Workplace Environment & Social Compliance – Evaluation of working conditions, safety, and compliance with ethical sourcing standards such as SA8000, BSCI, or SEDEX.
- Supply Chain & Material Control – Ensuring traceability and reliability of raw materials and components.
- Past Performance & Reliability – Reviewing on-time delivery rates and historical quality issues.
- Environmental Compliance – Checking alignment with environmental regulations where applicable.
Why Factory Audits Are Essential:
- Prevent financial losses caused by defective or non-compliant production.
- Ensure supplier reliability before signing contracts or issuing payments.
- Reduce dependency on a single supplier by identifying and qualifying alternative factories.
- Mitigate risks related to unethical practices, labor violations, and safety issues.
- Strengthen your vendor management system, creating a stable and transparent supply chain.
Upon completion, we provide a detailed factory audit report with clear findings, including photos and evidence, giving you full visibility into the factory’s operations. This helps you make strategic sourcing decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
By conducting professional supplier audits, you can protect your brand reputation, ensure consistent product quality, and build long-term, reliable partnerships.
