Full audit competence for your supplier audits
Because work is increasingly divided into separate stages and the number of actors within supply chains, it is extremely complicated to assess supplier quality and process capability and also possible risks and opportunities. A conscientious audit programme for all suppliers binds many organisational resources, and it is often not possible or too costly for in-house staff to perform the necessary work. Sometimes audits of international suppliers also have to be carried out all over the world. This is where our team at TUV USA can help.
Our audits can be a valuable instrument in order to create transparency through the entire supply chain and help you make informed decisions regarding suppliers on a sustainable and reliable basis. From the nonconformities and also good practices that are identified, it is possible to find potentials for improvement and clarify and eliminate problems within supplier relationships.
