Our Approach to a Factory Audit

At EWD-Compass , we believe in the importance of a factory audit as an essential part of your supply chain management. Once we’ve identified suitable factories that meet your requirements, we’ll schedule visits. If you’d prefer to visit the factory or factories in person, you’re more than welcome to travel with us to Asia. We’ll assess the factories based on various criteria and then prepare a comprehensive report.

Comprehensive Factory Audit Report

After the factory audit is complete, you will receive a comprehensive report, including photos and/or video footage from our visit. This ensures complete transparency and gives you confidence in the quality of the selected supplier. We place great importance on building strong relationships and honoring our commitments.

Scheduling Appointments and the Sample Process

As part of our comprehensive import support, after the site visit and the preparation of the report, we must both be convinced that the supplier meets the requirements. The next step is to establish clear agreements with the factories, and we also recommend conducting a sample process . This step is essential for assessing product quality. We will not enter into a partnership until the supplier fully meets the product criteria, and we will verify this thoroughly, down to the smallest details. If everything is in order, the factory may begin production, and our quality control.

  1. What is the size and capacity of the factory?
  2. What products are manufactured, and what are the manufacturing processes?
  3. And what are the factory's delivery times and flexibility?
