Quality systems

Check how incoming materials, in-process work and finished goods are controlled.

Product capability

Confirm whether the factory can make your category, specification and finish level.

04

Credentials & records

Review business registration, certifications and available production documentation.

Workplace practice

Observe the working environment, basic safety controls and operational organization.

06

Management interview

Discuss lead time, MOQ, sample process and how the factory handles exceptions.
