Verifying Supplier Capability to Deliver
While audits are essential, they are sometimes perceived as inconvenient, time consuming, and costly especially for suppliers located far from the purchasing organization.
However, avoiding audits can lead to greater risks, including:
- Lack of Objectivity: Making decisions without factual insights from audits.
- Operational Disruptions: Failing to identify and address potential supplier weaknesses, leading to costly supply chain issues.
- Missed Opportunities for Improvement: Overlooking risks and trends that could drive supplier and organizational growth.
