It is not unheard of for manufacturers to represent themselves in a way that does not match reality (said with tongue securely in cheek). So it is vital that the buyer has a clear understanding of the capabilities and conditions of a manufacturer before any business decisions are made. This will save you unwanted surprises, which is all too common when working with new suppliers. For example, it is not uncommon for factories to agree to a price, provide good samples, then outsource production to another factory that makes an inferior product for less money, and pocket the difference.
Leveraging our extensive industry knowledge and the local experience of our auditors, we can evaluate manufacturers with respect to any requirement you have, and help you to avoid these issues.
We typically inspect the following conditions:
- Manufacturer's background
- Manpower
- Production capability
- Machinery, facilities & equipment
- Manufacturing process & production lines
- In-house quality system such as testing & inspection
- Management system & capability
- Environment
