With the rapid development of economic globalization, people have higher and higher requirements for product quality. It is a problem that every plywood manufacturer and exporter will face to improve the requirements for plywood suppliers and screen out strict and compliant plywood suppliers. Reasonable evaluation of plywood suppliers is an ideal method to solve this problem, so it is of great significance to formulate evaluation indicators for plywood suppliers. PLYWOODINSPECTION.COM, as a third-party auditing agency for many plywood importers in Europe, the United States and the Middle East, discussed how to develop the selection methods and evaluation mechanisms for plywood suppliers, so as to determine a high-quality management mechanism to ensure that the platform can effectively audit and manage plywood suppliers.
Quality audit status of plywood suppliers
- Quality management status of plywood suppliers
At present, many plywood suppliers have done quality management system certification, but the operation of the quality management system has not reached the expected goal, and there are still many problems. During the two years from 2021 to 2022, many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East audited 31 plywood and plywood factories, and found 19 problems in the audit process.
At this stage, the main problems of plywood suppliers are as follows: the document planning is not specific enough, the operability is poor, and the details of enterprise standards, processes, inspection and design documents need to be constantly improved. Whether a document is sound and operable is the standard to evaluate whether the quality management system formulated by an enterprise is perfect. That is to say, the quality management system formulated by most plywood suppliers is not sound, which can not effectively guide and control the quality management of enterprises. The root cause of this problem is, on the one hand, the lack of attention from enterprise managers, and on the other hand, the lack of quality management talents.
In addition, the experimental detection should be standardized and reasonable, which needs to be highly valued by plywood suppliers. The problems existing in the inspection process of most plywood suppliers will directly affect the quality of products and the control and improvement of quality and management systems. At the same time, many plywood suppliers do not use testing instruments and measuring tools for inspection at all, which leads to poor control of product quality in the production process, resulting in many loopholes in product inspection.
- The rise of plywood supplier audit for many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East
In western countries, in order to improve the quality management level of plywood suppliers and better control product quality, it is required to audit plywood suppliers to ensure product quality, so that plywood suppliers and purchasers can jointly conduct quality management and control. We have created a special plywood supplier management department for foreign plywood importer customers, which provides technical guidance for the audit and management of plywood suppliers. Many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East, as one of the largest plywood manufacturers and exporters in China, cannot meet the quality requirements of enterprise management of plywood suppliers. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt the method of plywood supplier audit to improve the product quality of plywood suppliers, and jointly audit the plywood suppliers through the third-party certification body and the plywood supplier management. Many plywood importers in Europe, the United States and the Middle East have opened the plywood supplier audit. The goal is to find problems in the plywood supplier quality management mechanism in a timely manner, and provide professional technical support to the plywood supplier audit department, so that relevant plywood suppliers can meet the requirements of quality supervision. The rise of plywood supplier audit in many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East will inevitably enhance the quality awareness of plywood suppliers.

Many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East practice the audit of plywood suppliers for plywood furniture
The audit channel of plywood suppliers is mainly the responsibility of many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East, and can also be assigned to a third-party organization that can represent many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East.
Significance of plywood supplier audit:
First, in order to specifically analyze the quality management problems of plywood suppliers, so that many European, American and Middle Eastern plywood importers can keep consistent information with plywood suppliers in terms of quality control, so that many European, American and Middle Eastern plywood importers can effectively control the quality of plywood suppliers. Secondly, according to the audit standards, the quality control standards of many plywood importers in Europe, the United States and the Middle East can be quickly transmitted to plywood suppliers. Plywood suppliers can control product quality like an internal department of many plywood importers in Europe, the United States and the Middle East, so that the quality management level of plywood suppliers can be continuously improved. Third, due to the uneven development of the quality management level of plywood furniture and plywood suppliers, most enterprises are short of human resources, and it is difficult to carry out high standard quality management. During the audit of plywood suppliers, relevant quality management knowledge can be publicized to plywood suppliers, so that plywood furniture and plywood suppliers can further understand and understand the requirements of many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East on quality management, so that plywood suppliers can play a role in quality control. Fourthly, the review of plywood suppliers can effectively ensure every important link for plywood suppliers to improve their quality. After the review is passed, problems found on the site should be fed back to the plywood suppliers, and the review report should also be sent to the plywood suppliers. According to the standards of many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East, the plywood suppliers should take corrective measures against the problems. It can be said that the audit process can effectively improve the quality management level of plywood suppliers.

Management Measures for Audit of Plywood Suppliers
- Evaluation of plywood supplier audit results
plywoodinspection. As a third-party auditing agency for many plywood importers in Europe, the United States and the Middle East, plywood inspection Com has developed strict audit measures. After comprehensive consideration of such factors as audit timeliness, audit cost and pass rate, plywood inspection Com has formulated three assessment indicators, including enterprise qualification, product standard and enterprise management level. Among them, qualification inspection and product standard compliance are veto items. If an enterprise fails to meet the standards in this area, it will be classified as unqualified; The enterprise management level belongs to scoring sub items, which are scored according to the scoring rules. If the total score is greater than or equal to 50 points, it is qualified. During the audit, the audit team will evaluate each problem according to the evaluation method of the Audit Record Form. The assessment is based on whether relevant requirements can be met and whether potential risks can be eliminated.
- Inspection contents
The audit mainly includes: qualification inspection. Check the basic certificates of plywood suppliers, such as business license, office address, business scope and business scale. Product inspection. According to the product standards sold, check whether the product structure, identification and other details meet the product standards, such as product identification, instructions, warnings and product structure regulations meet the standard requirements. Evaluation of management level. According to the division of factory responsibilities, resource allocation, procurement, product design, product, packaging and storage, as well as the inspection and calibration of equipment, comprehensively assess whether the quality management level of the enterprise meets the specified standards.
- Application of plywood supplier audit results
The audit results of plywood suppliers can be applied in a wide range, generally including three aspects. First, plywood suppliers can continuously improve the quality management system of the enterprise according to the audit results; Second, many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East can let plywood suppliers improve and optimize their quality management according to the audit results, so that plywood suppliers can continuously improve the quality of their products; Third, many plywood importers in Europe, America and the Middle East can reward and grade plywood suppliers appropriately according to the audit results. The incentive mechanism includes increasing the supply of new products and increasing the proportion of supply. The following is the review conducted through scoring and rating, and a series of reward provisions are made according to the review results:
Class A: increase the supply of new product categories;
Level B: plywood suppliers are required to rectify within a time limit;
Level C: stop the supply of new product categories, and require plywood suppliers to rectify within a time limit;
Level D: stop the supply of new product categories, require plywood suppliers to rectify within a time limit, and appropriately reduce the supply proportion.
