Answer: Yes. We do both Manu­fac­tu­ring Process Audits (MPA) and Cor­po­ra­te Social Res­pon­si­bi­li­ty (CSR) audits at fac­to­ries. We also do Risk Assess­ments of pos­sible new supplier fac­to­ries to assess the risks of using that part­ner. During MPA audit, we typical­ly spend 2 days at the fac­to­ry, of which most of the time on the shop floor. If the­re are e.g. cos­me­tic qua­li­ty issues repor­ted, all cells in the line will be ins­pec­ted to find out the cells whe­re the dama­ge could be hap­pe­ning. All audits will have for­mal audit reports writ­ten with impro­ve­ment pos­si­bi­li­ties and / or requirements.
