Overview:

Managing Supplier Audits in Complex Global Supply Chains
Supplier Audits – also called a Second Party Audits – contribute to a consistent and documented overview of supplier performance. Identified nonconformities as well as observed good practices support a fact-based evaluation of suppliers and highlight areas where corrective actions may be required. International supply chains are increasingly fragmented, with multiple production stages, service providers and locations involved. As a result, evaluating supplier performance, process capability, compliance with defined requirements and potential risks or opportunities has become significantly more demanding.
Audits performed by TÜV NORD are carried out in accordance with clearly defined audit programmes and recognised standards. The focus is on objective verification and documented assessment of supplier compliance with agreed requirements
Through the international TÜV NORD network, audits can be conducted worldwide, including in the Middle East and GCC region, while taking into account local conditions and regulatory frameworks. This ensures consistency, comparability and transparency of audit results across different locations.
