Given a list of potential suppliers, we can establish
their suitability to meet your requirements. An assessor will be sent
to evaluate the company and typically report on the following:
* Condition / layout of the factory
* Quality control systems
* Continuity of material supplies
* Suitability of work patterns and capacity to meet demand over the
contract period
* Suitability of labour including skills and humanitarian responsibility
* Soundness of business
* Details of the production process
First-off inspection
Using samples provided by you, our auditor will visit the manufacturer
to check that the quality and finish is to your specification. Any discrepancies
found will be reported to you and we will either ask if you could accept
these differences or ask the manufacturer to correct and supply to the
original specification.
Initial production monitoring
An inspection of the first production run, reviewing the whole process
from raw materials to finished product. Quality control of the product
is monitored and a record kept for future comparison. The quality of
the finished product including packaging (if relevant) is then compared
to samples supplied by you or an authorised source.
Follow-up process monitoring
During the contract period the inspector will verify that the quality
is maintained by monitoring the various stages of manufacture based
on the agreed process. This can either be a continuous or periodic process.
If required, a report will be emailed or faxed to you daily during the
course of the manufacture.
