A manufacturing audit is typically implemented to confirm whether a potential new supplier is capable of meeting production and quality requirements.
The standard manufacturing audit covers:

Production capacities
Factory facilities, including the condition of machinery and equipment
Workflow and organization charts
Quality assurance systems in place
At the end of the audit, the factory is provided with a corrective action plan for targeted long-term improvement. Key remediations are prioritized, with timelines and KPIs agreed upon.
