Has all product labeling been evaluated by a competent authority? 3. Do all products have complete documentation, down to the raw material level? 4. Do all products have finished product specifications? 5. Do all products have an active surveillance testing program? 6. Have all suppliers been audited and approved? 7. Has Marketing received compliance best practice training? 8. Have CX teams had compliance best practice training? 9.

How we assess the quality and compliance of manufacturers is simply different than what you're used to Classically trained auditors are often taught to avoid overwhelming the target facility team and consolidate observations We politely take the gloves off and go to town What's the point in dancing around the issues? I don't think there is a point beyond the avoidance of difficult conversations On average, we identify ~60 improvement opportunities per facility Yes, that number applies to heavily certified legacy facilities too Does this mean the facility is bad? Not necessarily Does this mean the leadership team is bad? Not necessarily What DOES it mean? -no system is perfect -a bit of tunnel vision is normal -it's easy to drift from the fundamentals So what happens next? We turn those improvement opportunities into prescriptive action plans The action plans are designed to be completed within 90-days because without urgency, large initiatives are doomed to fail You just fire off a plan and leave? If that's what you want But most clients have us return in 90-days and start again Rinse & repeat until you're sick of us Our auditors have collectively audited 1,000+ facilities across the world Our audit team is the real deal If you want to pass audits, there are plenty of acronym firms to choose from If you want to recapture the costs of poor quality, build systems that actually work vs check a box in an audit form, save the world, and do so quickly, Qualitas Executive Group was built for you The best part? The annual cost is less than half of what you (hopefully) pay your Quality Manager Q1 is around the corner - what is your quality and compliance strategy for 2025? #qualitas #quality #compliance #consulting #auditing #cpg
