What is a Factory Audit
A Factory Audit is an on-site evaluation of a supplier carried out before you place an order or transfer a deposit. It verifies the factory's capability, quality system and workplace compliance so you know exactly who you are buying from.
What the audit covers
- Company profile, business licence and export experience
- Production capacity, main equipment and workshop layout
- Quality management system and in-line QC workflow
- Incoming, in-process and final inspection capability
- Social compliance, labour practice and workplace conditions
- Past performance, references and risk indicators
When to book a Factory Audit
Book an audit before awarding a new supplier, before a large order, or whenever you need to re-verify an existing partner's capability and compliance.
Why a Factory Audit matters
- Reduces sourcing risk by knowing your supplier's real capability
- Supports safer deposits and stronger contracts
- Identifies compliance and social-responsibility gaps early
- Provides a clear risk score and actionable recommendations
