Factory Audits

 
Regardless of what a supplier tells you about their company, it’s crucial due diligence to commission your own first-hand investigative report for any factory or company in China you are considering working with or have already started buying from. An CPQ Supplier Review will give you a candid look into any manufacturer’s capabilities, organization, management and quality control protocols.

What is a Supplier Review?

A Supplier Review, also known as a factory audit, is based on internationally recognized ISO 9001 standards, evaluating and rating the facility on nine distinct criteria including equipment, production capacity, quality control, testing, safety, social compliance, material supply chain, infrastructure, organization, cleanliness, business registration, and management
 

Supplier Review & Evaluation Reports

We can customize evaluations to answer specific concerns you may have and look more closely at specific areas of the factory that are critical to your project. A Supplier Review may also include meetings with factory management to explain industry best practices or product characteristics and obtain feedback.
CPQ reporting covers exactly what you need to know in order to make informed decisions about using a particular supplier. CPQ staff will also review the findings with your team in detail and assist you with any follow-up questions you may have.
