1. Risk Assessment

We assess risks such as whether a new supplier is a sound company, has a stable business foundation, or carries any financial issues. In addition to submitting documents such as business licenses, we may request investigations by external research organizations if necessary.

2. Self-Audit Through Document Review

Before conducting an on-site audit, we first request a document review to check whether basic requirements can be met. In addition to quality-related factors, document inspections cover ISO and environmental standards.

3. On-site Audit Through Factory Visit

Once the document review passes, an on-site factory audit will be carried out. Departments such as the quality audit division, CE (component approval department), and the purchasing division visit the site together to conduct the audit. In addition to general process audits, a document audit such as ISO will also be conducted simultaneously.

4. Final Determination

If any improvements are needed based on the audit results, we will request submission of an improvement report. A company that scores 90 points or above, our passing standard, will be officially approved for business transactions.

We also conduct an annual follow-up audit, including for existing suppliers, aiming to enhance product quality.
