PIEK Audit Service
Production, logistics, process & management: PIEK´s audit services
The manufacturers and suppliers you turn to directly impact the quality of your production and products. This is why you have to make sure that products are reliably manufactured, that your suppliers are capable of producing to your quality standards and that their processes meet the IPC standards. However, it can sometimes be difficult to gauge the quality of manufacturers and suppliers based in far-off locations.
PIEK’s consultancy department regularly does Audits for Electronics Manufacturing commissioned by its international clientele. In an audit the following company processes are inspected: production, logistics, environment, health and safety, and management.
The auditors check more than 300 aspects in total of the assembly process. PIEK runs checks on three essential components of the organisation concerned, namely inbound products, the processing of products and outbound products. The audit then reveals any weak points and aspects to be improved.
