Running a Compliance Programme

You take a fixed audit budget against a supplier base that is bigger than the supplier list. You rank the sites, spend the money, measure the programme without corrupting it, and price the exit before you need it.

Course value

What will you be able to do?

Work outcome

You can run a pre-shipment AQL inspection with the plan in front of you, defend a defect classification to a third-party inspector, and make a costed, defensible ship-or-hold call on a lot that has failed.

Who it is for

Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.

What you will produce

You build a costed annual compliance plan for one supplier base. You rank every site on a five-input score. You price four treatment bands to the budget with a named reserve. You write a closure rule saying which findings a photograph may close. You split an onboarding gate list into what blocks an order and what can wait. And you cost an exit in dollars.
