举例来说,当您决定在越南与某个供应商合作,这个供应商承诺他们将满足您的产品要求,而且报价合理。但是,当生产进行到一半时,您发现这家供应商的“工厂”其实只是一个小办公室而已,他们实际上把您的订单外包给了当地的另外一家工厂。
除了很难对产品质量和工厂职业操守进行监督以外,您还会面临生产和运输延误上的问题。产品无法按时运输和交付、产品的质量不符合您的要求,这些状况发生的可能性极大。
怎样才能减少这类风险呢?
只有在越南实施审厂,您才能真正了解产品的生产地点和工厂的生产能力。但是,亲自去工厂查看可能会非常麻烦,而且花费高昂。除了差旅方面的不便以外,您可能也不太熟悉专业审厂的流程和细节。
AQF可以代表您,在越南实施专业的审厂服务。我们的专业审厂团队已经在越南和亚洲的其他地区审核了许多不同类型的工厂。
我们在越南当地的审厂人员能够前往供应商的工厂,帮助您调查以下事宜:
您将收到包括相关照片的审厂报告,详细描述工厂的状况和发现的问题。如果这家供应商需要整改,您将了解到具体哪些问题需要解决。
“审厂”通常被认为是找到合适供应商的最后一个重要步骤,同时也是下单之前调查和了解潜在供应商的最佳渠道之一。无论您需要确认工厂是否符合采购业的道德标准,或者是否遵守特定的环境法规,我们的专业审厂团队都可以为您提供服务。
第一次与某个供应商合作时,我们建议您不要轻易冒任何风险。下订单之前,最明智的做法是对您在越南的供应商进行工厂审计。
You guys are quite efficient in making sure that you are in constant communication with our vendors to set up a time and day to have inspections handled... InTouch definitely pushed to make sure that inspections would be done in a timely manner. Any corrective actions that had to take place were executed well before the exit factory date.
Ron Eclarinal
Director of Production, Betabrand
Since InTouch does a more detailed inspection than what we had depended on with the factories, the quality of the products has improved. Where before when we might find 25 AQL defects, now it's down to three or four,because the factory knows that we want that cut back and InTouch is going to find it.

Administrative Assistant, Linstol
InTouch’s auditing reduced the level of risk, whether known or unknown, to our company. From the audit findings provided by InTouch, we were much more equipped to make the correct business decision with regard to an acceptable level of risk. The InTouch audit secured our decision making process.
Jerry Davis
Vice President of Purchasing, MJS Packaging
One of our customers had been through multiple suppliers year after year and had been let down with returns and rejections. With InTouch as our eyes and ears on the ground, we retained that business for 5 years without one single rejection or complaint.
Nick Rivera
Director of Operations, MMI Textiles
The speed that we get the reports is always good. We had an experience with some other inspectors where we had to wait an extra day to get the reports. Getting the report as soon as we can is very important, so we can make a decision and give feedback back to the factory.
Denis O'Mahony
Operations and Engineering Manager, Juku Gear
From beginning to end, InTouch is so easy to work with. The inspection report is literally there the next morning when I come into work. It really makes my job easier.
