VENDOR AUDITS & QUALIFICATION PROGRAMS
Turning compliance into competitive advantage
Vendor audits and qualification programs are structured processes that organizations use to ensure their suppliers (vendors) meet the necessary standards for quality, safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
VENDOR AUDITS & QUALIFICATION PROGRAMS
BENEFITS
A vendor qualification program is the initial evaluation process used to approve a supplier before they can provide products or services to a company.
A vendor audit is a detailed on-site inspection to verify that a supplier complies with quality and regulatory standards and follows the procedures they claim to have.
