For any Amazon vendor it is essential to have reliable suppliers, capable of producing goods of adequate quality and quantity. Taking into account Chinese realities and business traditions, factory audit become one of the crucial phases of searching for such supplier.

After receiving an order for production they pass it to some factory, often being oriented towards the domestic market and having very vague knowledge about western quality standards, let alone Amazon requirements.
