Factory Audit Checklist for Supplier Evaluation
by Anitra Viswanathan, from the Community
Use this factory audit checklist to assess new or existing suppliers against business standards. Evaluate general information, production processes, quality control, capacity and sourcing, maintenance, visual controls, lean practices, and compliance including safety and environmental measures. Capture photo evidence of issues, assign corrective actions to responsible teams, and document findings. Track on-time shipments and process times, verify PPE, emergency equipment, and first-aid readiness, and confirm energy-efficient practices. Conclude with a signed report to support supplier approval decisions.
