Introduction of factory audit

Factory Audit is generally divided into human rights inspection (Social Responsibility inspection), quality inspection (quality and technology inspection), anti-terrorism inspection (supply chain safety inspection), etc. Many customers hope that the supplier's management system in terms of quality, social responsibility (human rights) and anti-terrorism can meet certain requirements. Therefore, before placing an order, they will check the factory status by themselves or entrust a third-party notary firm. After confirming that there are no major and serious problems in the factory, they can include the factory into the list of qualified suppliers, place an order and cooperate for a long time.

Factory Audit generally includes human rights inspection, quality inspection and anti-terrorism inspection. Next, these three inspections will be briefly introduced.

Human rights test

It mainly examines human rights, the protection and responsibility of factories to workers, and the responsibility for the environment. It mainly prohibits the use of child labor, opposes discrimination and oppression of workers, prohibits the use of prison workers, and workers have freedom of association. The payment of wages and working hours must meet the requirements of the International Labour Organization and China's labor laws and regulations. Health, safety, fire protection and other requirements to ensure that the workers' working environment is conducive to escape and does not endanger their health. In terms of environment, it mainly checks whether the corresponding documents are applied for according to the legal requirements and whether the environmental protection facilities operate normally.

quality testing

The requirements of each customer are different. Generally, customers will take ISO9001 as the basis and attach higher requirements, such as raw material inspection, process inspection, finished product inspection, risk assessment, etc. Production report, effective management of various items, on-site management, etc.

Anti terrorism inspection

At present, it is not very popular. It is mostly the requirements of American customers, from the personnel safety, data safety, goods production, packaging and loading and unloading safety of the factory, so as to prevent inflammable, explosive and dangerous goods from entering the packaged products and directly transporting them to the port, causing potential threats and potential safety hazards to the society and the public. The main purpose of anti-terrorism Factory Audit is to pass a set of safety control procedures of the factory itself, To ensure the transportation and use safety of export goods.

Purpose of Factory Audit

The customer will place an order only after the Factory Audit is passed. Then why should the customer inspect the factory?

The first is to check the quality. In fact, it is the same as inspection. Only when a set of practical, effective and feasible quality management system is operated in the factory, can we ensure that the products produced by the factory are qualified and can be delivered on time. At the same time, we should also comprehensively consider the production capacity, equipment and employee production efficiency of the factory. That is to tell customers that we have the ability to complete your order according to quality and quantity.

Secondly, social responsibility. So why should social responsibility be tested?

We can first understand what social responsibilities an enterprise bears while creating benefits for the society? In terms of management, it is believed that corporate social responsibility mainly has six aspects: to shareholders, to employees, to society, to the environment, etc. Social responsibility Factory Audit, also known as human rights Factory Audit, mainly focuses on the working environment and welfare treatment of employees. People can't accept Wal Mart, the world's top 500 enterprise. Its suppliers are sweatshops, and its profits are based on the oppression and exploitation of workers. Therefore, for its business image and corporate reputation, Wal Mart needs to strictly select its own suppliers. In order to select more fairly, large, medium and small enterprises such as Wal Mart will entrust qualified third-party institutions to conduct evaluation, so that the report issued by the third party is more persuasive and professional. With the increasing development of society and economy, more and more emphasis is placed on human dignity and the fruits of economic development should be shared by the people. Therefore, from the domestic and international trends, Factory Audit is worthy of praise.
