This webinar will take you through key touch points in making sure your established quality program is up to date.

Learn how to make sure all your bases are covered during inspections and audits and make the best of your quality budget with smart use of sourcing data and technology. Additional information on COVID-19 relating to audits will also be shared during this webinar.

How to manage your supplier relations and keep subcontracting above board.
Efficiency practices to optimize quality costs while improving quality in the long term.

Introduced to factory audits in 1996, Terri fell in love with the idea of reviewing the complexities of the manufacturing processes while also verifying the safety, quality and capabilities of the factory. This led to additional training and expansion of her internal audit scope to include social accountability and C-TPAT audits.
