What is the Simple Factory Audit?
The Simple Factory Audit (SFA) should be performed before the buyer places an order with a new vendor and only takes one day. The Simple Factory Audit is done at your manufacturer's premises, anywhere in Asia.
The added value of a Simple Factory Audit?
Our main service is the Extensive Factory Audit, which takes 2 man-days to achieve. The Simple Factory audit is also based on the ISO9000 norm but made simpler. If it's the first time you work with a factory, you want to work in a long term partnership or your products cannot be put in anyone's hands, you might need this audit. Trust is important but in business you need to know exactly who you are dealing with: a vendor, a factory or even a middleman. It is not as exhaustive as the Extensive Factory Audit, but it will give you a good picture of your business partner.
