Machinery Inventory & Maintenance
We audit machinery age, maintenance logs, tooling precision, calibration certificates, and whether core manufacturing is completed in-house or outsourced.
Internal Quality Management (QMS)
We review internal incoming material inspection (IQC), in-process QC (IPQC), and outgoing QA procedures to ensure ISO 9001 compliance in practice.
Raw Material & Warehouse Storage
We inspect humidity control, dust prevention, pallet organization, and inventory security to verify that your components are stored under optimal conditions.

Risk Mitigation
Why You Must Audit Before Deposit
The biggest risk in China sourcing is working with an unqualified supplier who subcontract your order to an inferior back-alley workshop without your knowledge.
Unmask Trading Companies Posing as Factories
Confirm whether the vendor is an actual manufacturer or a trading agent marking up costs by 20% to 50%.
Prevent Severe Production Delays
Verify that the factory has enough operating assembly lines to meet your launch deadlines without bottlenecks.
Strengthen Your Negotiation Leverage
Knowing the factory's real scale, capacity, and machinery gives you powerful leverage when setting terms.
Protect Investor Capital & Deposits
Ensure that initial 30% production deposits are wired to a solvent, established, and fully registered corporate entity.

Common Queries
Factory Audit FAQs
What is the difference between a Factory Audit and Quality Inspection?
A Factory Audit assesses the manufacturer's facility, legal credentials, capacity, and systems before an order is placed. A Quality Inspection evaluates the physical finished products during or after manufacturing.
Can the factory hide problems from the auditor?
Our experienced auditors know where to look: they check utility meters, shift logs, raw material invoices, and machine maintenance records, uncovering inconsistencies that a glossy showroom hides.
Do I need to be present during the audit?
No. You can remain at home. Our team conducts the entire audit on-site and provides an extensive photo and video report with complete documentation.
What happens if an audit reveals major red flags?
We advise you not to wire deposits to that supplier. Our sourcing team can immediately step in to source pre-vetted alternative manufacturers for your product.
