A new approach to audit management

Supplier audits provide valuable insights for assessing suppliers, processes and risks. However, audit reports, action plans and supplier assessments have, until now, often been managed in different systems, Excel files or email inboxes.

With the TÜV NORD CERT 2nd Party Supplier Tool, companies gain centralised access to the supplier audits carried out by TÜV NORD CERT and can transparently track results, actions and developments.

Why is it useful to use the 2nd Party Supplier Tool?

Many organisations face similar challenges when planning, carrying out and following up on supplier audits:

  • Audit information is scattered across various systems and documents
  • Results can only be compared and analysed to a limited extent
  • Actions arising from the audits are not consistently followed up
  • There is a lack of transparency across international supply chains
  • The administration of audit programmes involves a significant amount of manual work

Features of the TÜV NORD CERT 2nd Party Supplier Tool

The TÜV NORD CERT 2nd Party Supplier Tool supports the transparent planning and organisation of supplier audits. Relevant information on the scope of the audit, dates and progress is available centrally.

The results of the supplier audits carried out by TÜV NORD CERT are documented in a structured manner and made available centrally. This ensures that audit reports, findings and assessments can be traced at any time.

Deviations, agreed actions and processing statuses can be documented centrally and tracked across various audit cycles. This supports the structured monitoring of improvement measures and developments at suppliers.
