Factory Audit is a useful tool for buyers to assess if the factory has the capability for production. Our audits provide insights of a factor’s operational and quality control system for the buyer’s review before the order is placed. Expert auditing can also be used as a tool to strengthen your business, providing you with the validated information necessary to make informed business decisions on everything from product quality to business security.
