Supplier Audit

Supplier audits are a crucial component of maintaining product quality and integrity, ensuring that the products and services being supplied meet specified requirements. They are an essential part of a company’s quality management system and are a key element in the ISO 9001 standard.
Why Supplier Audits are Important
Quality Assurance: Supplier audits verify the supplier’s ability to deliver high-quality products or services consistently.
Risk Management: They help identify and mitigate potential risks associated with the supplier.
Regulatory Compliance: Audits ensure that suppliers comply with all relevant regulations and standards.
Continuous Improvement: They provide an opportunity for suppliers to improve their processes and performance.
Our Supplier Audit Process
Our supplier audit process is thorough and structured. It includes the following steps:
Pre-Audit Questionnaire: We send a questionnaire to the supplier to gather initial information about their processes and quality controls.
On-Site Audit: Our experienced auditors visit the supplier’s premises to assess their operations firsthand.
Audit Report: We provide a detailed report outlining our findings, including areas of non-compliance and potential improvement.
Corrective Actions: If necessary, we work with the supplier to develop a corrective action plan.
Follow-Up Audit: We conduct follow-up audits to ensure the effectiveness of the corrective actions.
