Manufacturing capability
Equipment, processes, production flow, relevant experience and whether the factory appears equipped for the product and volumes being considered.
Assess a Chinese manufacturer before production, investment or a long-term supplier relationship.
A factory audit helps answer a practical question: can this manufacturer reliably make your product to the required standard? Sino2West can assess the factory on the ground and connect findings to supplier selection, product development and ongoing manufacturer management.
The objective is not simply to produce a checklist. Findings should help determine whether to approve, conditionally approve, improve or reject a supplier, and what needs to happen before production starts.
Where an audit identifies gaps, Sino2West can connect the findings with supplier development, manufacturer management and quality control.
