What is Flash Audit

A short, focused on-site assessment — often conducted right after inspections — to maximize time at the factory and reduce travel and cost. It is tailored to your technical audit findings and can be used for quality, compliance, social, or environmental monitoring. The result: actionable insight that turns detection into improvement.

 

 
 

What We Assess (Examples)

  • Process adherence to SOPs on the line
  • In-process quality controls and defect containment
  • Operator training and competency
  • Equipment readiness and maintenance practices
  • Material receiving and traceability
  • Environmental and social compliance checkpoints (optional)

Who It's For

  • Brands and retailers managing multi-factory supply chains
  • Quality, Compliance, and Supplier Development leaders
  • Teams seeking faster CAP cycles and better on-the-floor visibility

Benefits

Ground-truth shop-floor execution 

Verify real practices against your SOPs —beyond pass/fail and documentation.

Conduct targeted post-inspection checks for high visibility at lower cost.

 

Continuous Accountability
