Second Party Supplier Audits

Business trends in the food industry - expansion, acquisitions, outsourcing, use of co-manufacturers, costs-reductions - affect how food safety is managed throughout your supply chain. These decisions impact your profits and losses, which can include loss due to quality variations, shortened shelf-life, or in worst case, recalls.

Silliker can help you verify the commitment of your suppliers to the production of safe, quality foods through the design, implementation, and maintenance of a cost-effective Vendor Certification Program (VCP) or Second Party Audit Program.

Efficient Food Safety Management, like Just In Time and Efficient Consumer Response, is essential to protecting and improving your competitive position. Silliker can help you develop, implement and manage a comprehensive Supplier Certification Program that will improve efficiency, consistency and profitability. We can work with you to audit the entire supply chain for safety and quality, then create an ongoing program to systematically track performance and verify compliance to your specifications.
