"PRE-PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT

Before we engage in a new partnership, our suppliers sign our Vendor Code of Ethics (VCoE) Certificate of Compliance and we conduct a full facility assessment. If all zero-tolerance criteria and minimum requirements are met, we begin a business relationship together. If any violations are found during the assessment, a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plan is put in place. This includes agreed-upon solutions, a timeframe for implementation, and key responsibilities."
