Process auditing checks whether processes are working as they should. It evaluates an operation or method in a company. It includes checking the accuracy of production, availability of equipment, various production conditions, and checking all resources, employees, and the process itself.
System Audit
This is a management system audit. Our team will audit the supplier for compliance with various regulations. This includes contractual obligations, safety and environmental standards. Ethical and structural audits are part of this work.
Performance Audit
This service is similar to a system audit. However, process, product and system audits are compliance audits. They are designed to check how well the supplier meets regulatory requirements. Performance audits check organizational improvements and the efficiency of the enterprise. Limorebrother will check the overall improvements and growth of your supplier in China.
Security audit
Security audits are aimed at checking the security systems and processes of the enterprise. This factory audit aims to improve security, protection and reduce illegal trade. We check various criteria such as PIP, AEO and C-TPAT. Limorebrother is proud to conduct Global Security Verification audits in China.
Product Audit
During a product audit, we check the supplier’s compliance with your product or service. This is similar to a product inspection, but more targeted. Limorebrother will make sure that your requirements are strictly followed. In addition, we will check whether the product quality complies with government regulations.
Follow-up Audit
Based on the audit results, we may find problems. Once the manufacturer has corrected these problems, we can re-audit to verify the changes made. We will make sure that everything is in order and all changes were made correctly.
Social Compliance Audit
Social compliance audits are required for most supply chains, especially in China. They examine a company’s environmental and social management, including labor policies and work ethics. Social compliance audits are in line with the SA 8000 standards. At Limorebrother, we take these audits very seriously.
With Limorebrother, factory auditing has never been easier! All you need to do is select the audit type and approve our audit plan. After that, we will handle everything from audit execution to report preparation and corrective action development.
We will perform recalculations, performance tests, analytical procedures, interviews and special tests.
It is a four-step process: plan, execute, report and follow up.
First, we discuss with you what you would like us to audit. Together, we plan and prepare everything necessary to begin the factory audit.
Then, our auditors conduct a field visit, during which we audit the supplier’s factory in China. We summarize our findings in a factory audit report for your and the manufacturer’s review.
Finally, we discuss the results of the factory audit. We discuss what needs to be changed and done in the future. We may also schedule another audit after everything has been corrected.
After the audit, if we find any problems, we will report them to you and the factory. The supplier will most likely develop a corrective and preventive action plan to improve the situation. We will then conduct a re-audit to check for improvements. If the supplier does not listen to us, we will find you a new supplier in China.
Yes, you can! Verifying customer requirements is part of the factory audit, so you can help us plan the audit checklist and tasks according to your wishes.
We check many things. But here are the most notable ones:
