Industrial Factory Audits: Secure Your Supply Chain and Ensure Compliance

In a world where global supply chains are increasingly complex, businesses must ensure that their industrial partners meet expectations in terms of production capacity, quality, regulatory compliance, and delivery reliability.

A simple quote or contract isn’t enough—only an on-site presence can truly validate a supplier’s credibility and performance.

That’s where Expandys’ industrial factory audit service comes in.

Why conduct a factory audit before commiting?

An industrial audit is both a preventative and optimization tool that helps companies avoid unpleasant surprises and ensures the success of their projects.

•  Production Capacity: Assessment of production lines, equipment, inventory, and organization.
  
  
•  Regulatory Compliance: Verification of adherence to ISO standards, local and international certifications, or specific industry norms.
  
  
•  Quality Processes: Inspection of manufacturing methods, traceability, and quality control procedures.
  
  
•  Logistical Reliability: Analysis of production lead times and shipping capabilities.
  
  
• Safety and Working Conditions: Often overlooked, but crucial for international partnerships.

The audit is not a standalone step—it's an integral part of our overall support. At Expandys, we offer:
