FACTORY AUDITS
As a manufacturer, you may be familiar with different types of audits such as Ethical, Environmental and Technical. These audits are crucial in addition to the code of practice you may have already implemented. I can assist you in reviewing these audits and provide guidance on how to improve in these areas.
Ethical Audit
In today's business world, it's not enough to just talk about having an ethical supply chain. People demanding transparency from brands and retailers. Being Socially accountability is super important for a company's sourcing and marketing strategy, as it ensures better product quality, consumer loyalty, and good corporate citizenship.
Environmental Audit
An environmental audit is basically a way to check if a factory is following the rules for protecting the environment. It also looks at how they manage things like waste, water, and air pollution. The audit covers everything from legal requirements to best practices, so it's pretty thorough.
Technical Audit
If you're looking to partner with a new supplier or improve the standards of an existing one, it's important to review their performance and organization. This is where a Technical Audit comes in - it is a comprehensive assessment of a supplier's manufacturing processes and quality control systems, making sure that your standards are met. The audit covers everything from factory profile, production capacities, workflow, organization charts, and quality assurance systems. Once the audit is done, the factory receives a corrective action plan for targeted long-term improvement, with key remediations prioritized and agreed upon with factory management.
