Strengthen Confidence in Your Manufacturing Partners
Assessing Manufacturers Against Your Requirements to Strengthen Supply Chain Confidence
Intertek's factory audits assess manufacturers against your quality, operational and compliance requirements. The results help you identify reliable production partners and strengthen confidence across your supply chain.
Because each audit is measured against the requirements you set, the outcome reflects what matters to your business and the standards you expect from the manufacturers you work with.
Identifying reliable production partners
Manufacturers play a central role in any supply chain, and selecting the right production partner is an important commercial decision. Assessing a manufacturer against clearly defined requirements gives organisations a sound basis for identifying production partners they can rely on.
Three areas of assessment
Factory audits assess manufacturers against your requirements in three areas:
- Quality requirements: how the manufacturer measures up against the quality expectations you have set.
- Operational requirements: how the manufacturer's operations meet your requirements.
- Compliance requirements: how the manufacturer meets the compliance requirements that apply to your business.
Key benefits
- Reliable production partners: a clearer basis for deciding which manufacturers to work with.
- Stronger supply chain confidence: greater certainty about the manufacturers within your supply chain.
- Aligned to your requirements: assessment based on the quality, operational and compliance requirements you define.
