Trend of outsourcing factory audit
With the trend of globalization, since the reform and opening up in 1980, China has become a global manufacturer. Traditionally, overseas importers develop supply chains by visiting new factories in person, introducing friends or participating in international exhibitions.
With the trend of specialization, more and more importers give quality control and factory audit to third-party inspection companies to carry out factory audits on their behalf. For example, the advantages of customer outsourcing factory audit to CLI inspection company are obvious, so that they can focus on marketing,customer maintenance and reduce the business risk of developing new suppliers.
