To verify the safety and reliability of procured goods or equipment, buyers must be sure that vendors comply with quality requirements and that manufacturing processes are in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.

In today's globally-linked world, international vendors and subcontractors provide products to clients thousands of miles away, making it difficult for foreign buyers to evaluate manufacturing processes taking place on different continents. We support you with vendor and subcontractor audits designed to prove the reliability of both potential and current suppliers. Our on-site vendor assessment services help you to ensure that your quality expectations and compliance requirements are met globally and along the entire supply chain.

Take advantage of our extensive vendor audit procedures and vendor quality management services to ensure the quality of the products you intend to purchase before placing the order.

Our vendor audit is conducted with respect to your company- or project-specific requirements and/or according to our own assessment scope. We further offer you an extended audit version to include an assessment of vendor quality management. Our audit is typically carried out in the following four phases:

1. Preparation
   Together with the buyer, we complete a technical questionnaire based on each supplier's profile, references, and a list of specific characteristics.
2. Assessment
   After thorough planning and coordination, our auditors conduct on-site examination, audit and assessment of vendors and subcontractors.
3. Evaluation
   According to the results of the vendor audits, we provide a customized evaluation matrix based on a traceable and non-discriminating model in order to list suppliers according to their performance and outlining potential areas of weakness and bottlenecks.
4. Conclusion
   Our experts prequalify global suppliers based on the evaluation matrix, preparing a bidder's shortlist of capable suppliers prior to purchase. Additionally, it is possible to identify sub-standard suppliers and give recommendations to help them improve quality to an acceptable level.

Our experts draw upon extensive experience gained from international projects in every industry and of every size to provide you with comprehensive services. To ensure you the best results possible, our vendor audit is conducted according to both client- or project-specific requirements as well as our own assessment scope.
