Audit Services: Monitoring Audit
What is a Full Monitoring Audit (FMA)?
The Full
Monitoring Audit is usually requested by our clients prior to
ordering from a new supplier. The factory audit takes two-days
and is performed at the production site.
What does FMA offer?
The Full Monitoring Audit is
performed according to ISO 9001 by a professional inspector to
provide assurance that your Chinese supplier’s practices and
procedures meets your organization’s standards. This extensive
factory audit gives you a deeper look into your supplier’s
business background. If you would like to establish a long-term
strategic sourcing relationship with a quality supplier, then an
FMA would be a good place to start.
