Before placing an order with a Chinese factory, you may want to know more about your suppliers capabilities, systems, management, human resources, and or operating procedures. This ensures that your quality specifications and standards are met.

Working with the right supplier saves significant amounts of time, money, and ultimately your company’s reputation. Our Factory Audit reports will aid you in deciding if the potential supplier is suitable to manage and produce the desired products.

Sourced Now will custom tailor our evaluation process to fit your companies particular needs. During our factory audit, we can evaluate the following for you:

ISO/REACH certification

We can verify with the Chinese government if the factories actually hold any certification that is necessary for your importation process. In many countries across the globe there is an ever increasing amount of regulations that are concerning foreign made products. If your products require your manufacturer to have these certifications so that they can pass them on to you then it is best to know that the manufacturer actually has them.

Environmental Concerns

In many cases customers need verification of certificates that manufacturers may are necessary for you to make any claims on your packaging of your products. We can verify with the Chinese government if the factory has any environmental certification. We also can verify any certification that is needed for raw goods that your products will be made from.

Additionally if you have any moral concerns about how your products are being manufactured we can do an onsite inspection and inquire how all waste goods and bi-products are disposed of. Today’s market place is getting greener by the minute. These claims may be a competitive edge that will set you apart from your competitors.

Employee Treatment

If you have any concerns for moral or marketing reasons on how the factory is treating or compensating their employees. Sourced Now will be glad to do an onsite investigation into any factory. We can perform candid conversations with their employee’s onsite or offsite.

If you have any concerns about worker safety at a manufacturer. Sourced Now can do an onsite inspection for you as well we can look into local government offices for any past and pending lawsuits that the factory is in or may have been involving worker safety.

Factory Capabilities

One thing that should be an important concern of yours is the factories abilities and their employee’s abilities. Sourced Now can conduct an onsite inspection and evaluate the size of the factory, the amount of equipment the factory has, the amount of employees the factory has, and the technical ability of the factories employee’s. Through gathering this information we will be able to tell you if the factory can actually do what they are promising.
