Factory audits provide an in-depth assessment of the manufacturer’s identity, finances, technical capabilities, management systems and quality controls.
This helps to validate whether the supplier has the capability to consistently meet the specifications and requirements of its products.
It allows you to make a more informed decision when selecting or continuing to work with a Chinese manufacturer.
