Why Strategic Sourcing Audits Are Crucial for Supplier Reliability

The case for strategic sourcing audits:

When’s the last time you audited your supplier list?

Even seasoned buyers fall into the trap of complacency.

Factories change over time (new management, different materials, shifting capabilities).

A bi-annual sourcing audit ensures your suppliers are still the best fit for your evolving needs.

Neglect this, and yesterday’s reliable partner might become tomorrow’s liability.
