What is a Supplier Audit?
Supplier Audits provide a systematic method to identify and manage risks in your supply chain, ensure quality and ensure compliance with laws, regulations and industry standards. To ensure comprehensive transparency and security in your supply chain, you should conduct Supplier Audits at regular intervals. The appropriate frequency depends on the criticality of the supplier or the significance of the outsourced service for your company.
You review the organizational and technical performance of your suppliers
You compare actual and contractually agreed service provision targets
You support positive continuous supplier development to optimize the quality and efficiency of your own processes and products through consistently good performance from your suppliers
