What to Expect from a TPF Audit

1. Key Questions We Answer

The goal of every audit is simple: to determine whether a factory can deliver what you need, at the quality and scale you require.

To get there, we dig into questions like:

Can this factory meet your product specifications and quality standards?
Do they have the equipment, capacity, and processes required?
Are their quality control and management systems reliable?
Are there risks tied to their labor force, compliance, or industry reputation?

2. How We Find the Answers

To answer those questions, our inspectors conduct a thorough on-site review that includes:

Interviews with engineering and quality control teams
A review of production lines and processes
An assessment of machinery, facilities, and equipment
Photographic documentation of the site
Identification of potential issues or red flags

3. What You Receive

A detailed report with findings, photos, and insights
Delivered within 24 hours of the audit
