Our Extensive Range of Audit Areas

Factory Audit

Factory Audit (FA): A Factory Audit (FA) should be performed before placing an order with a new supplier, and it normally takes one day. The Factory Audit is conducted at the manufacturer’s premises or anywhere in Bangladesh. This audit is carried out to evaluate the factory’s overall status and capabilities before production begins and should be conducted on a regular basis.

Procedure: When a new order is going to be placed with a factory that has not been previously approved or whose status is unknown to the client, the client can request a Factory Audit through MEXIS GLOBAL TRADE. Upon receiving the confirmed audit request, MEXIS GLOBAL TRADE will immediately assign a qualified auditor.

Audit Content: The following steps are carried out by our auditor during the factory audit:

  • Factory location, production area, building condition, and layout approval.

  • Verification of all legal documents and certifications.

  • Factory workforce, production process, and management system.

  • Annual turnover and existing client portfolio.

  • Product categories, production capacity, production monitoring, and factory condition.

  • Verification of import and export licenses and other required documents.

Factory Quality Audit

Factory Quality Audit (FQA): When a comprehensive audit is not required, but a quick, efficient, and cost-effective supplier evaluation is needed, a Factory Quality Audit (FQA) is the ideal solution. This audit is mainly conducted before placing an order during the sourcing process. It enables buyers to verify, evaluate, and qualify a supplier before making any business commitment. This service is carried out at the manufacturer’s premises.

Procedure: Upon receiving a confirmed audit request from the client, MEXIS GLOBAL TRADE will immediately assign a qualified auditor to conduct the Factory Quality Audit.

Social Audit (SA)

Social Audit (SA): In today’s global marketplace, social responsibility has become one of the highest priorities for buyers, importers, retailers, and fashion brands. MEXIS GLOBAL TRADE offers Social Audit (SA) services in Bangladesh to verify whether suppliers comply with the required social compliance standards in accordance with SA 8000 international standards. Assessing your supplier through a Social Audit helps protect your brand reputation and ensures your business partners operate responsibly. Before placing an order or making any financial commitment, verify and qualify your supplier’s social accountability. This service is conducted at the manufacturer’s premises.

Procedure: Upon receiving a confirmed audit request from the client, MEXIS GLOBAL TRADE will immediately assign a qualified auditor to conduct the Social Audit.

Cost Re-engineering & Optimization

MEXIS GLOBAL TRADE carefully selects the most suitable manufacturing partner to meet our clients’ product, quality, and pricing requirements. We always consider cost efficiency without compromising product quality or customer expectations. When the desired styling exceeds the target FOB price, we provide a Design to Cost (DTC) proposal to achieve the expected price while maintaining the original product concept as much as possible.

Our experienced product development team works closely with buyers to identify cost-effective alternatives in fabrics, trims, construction, and production methods, ensuring the required quality and styling are maintained with minimal design changes.

We are committed to enhancing working conditions, health and safety standards, and employee welfare through long-term partnerships with both our clients and manufacturing partners.

Our partner factories comply with internationally recognized standards and codes of conduct, including BSCI, Accord, Alliance, WRAP, ICS, SEDEX, GOTS, OCS, RCS, and other customer-specific compliance requirements. Certifications are regularly reviewed and updated according to buyers’ requirements.
