Supplier Audits
Purchasing decisions can be complex, especially when goods or services to be acquired are not simple, inexpensive and easily accessible. Purchasing of commodities, goods, components or services that are critical for the business requires thorough scrutiny that goes well beyond mere price quotation. Quality, reliability, timely delivery, as well as other critieria need to be fully understood, especially in cases where alternative suppliers may be limited or commodity supplies are scarce.
The client should have an insight into the quality and safety of processes and operations, management performance and possible vulnerabilities at the supplier's end.

Audit protocols can be custom tailored according to the specific requirements of the client.
