Supplier Auditing
The objective of supplier auditing is to reduce and manage the risk of supply chain disruptions. Supplier audits are frequently seen as an inconvenience. These may involve sparing key employees from their core duties to visit suppliers, perform audits, write audit reports and follow-up on nonconformities. In addition to this, the individual conducting audit must have very good understanding of required management system standards, supplier’s processes, experience of conducting supply chain audits, writing audit report and making recommendations. Our auditors are competent to conduct comprehensive audits of sub-contractors and suppliers across a wide range of disciplines including manufacturing, processing, engineering, project management, logistics, consulting, IT, automotive, aerospace and packaging, etc.
