▌Walmart factory inspection consists of three parts

Walmart's factory inspection is divided into three parts: social responsibility factory inspection (ES factory inspection), quality factory inspection or also called capacity assessment (FCCA factory inspection), and counter-terrorism factory inspection (SCS factory inspection). ES factory inspection includes employee wages and working hours, labor conditions and benefits, management system, environmental protection, etc. The results of the social responsibility factory inspection are in the form of lights, which are divided into four types: red, orange, yellow and green.

Human Rights Factory Audit (ES):

The main inspections are human rights, factory protection and responsibility for workers, and responsibility for the environment. The main inspections include prohibiting the use of child labor, opposing discrimination and oppression of workers, prohibiting the use of prison labor, workers have freedom of association, and the payment of wages and working hours must meet the requirements of the International Labor Organization and Chinese labor laws and regulations. Requirements in health, safety, fire protection, etc., to ensure that the working environment of workers is conducive to escape and does not harm their health. In terms of the environment, the main inspections are whether the corresponding documents have been applied for according to legal requirements and whether the environmental protection facilities are operating normally. Ma's requirements are met.

Factory Quality Inspection (FCCA):

Wal-Mart-FCCA recognizes ISO, BRC, GMP, and QMS. Quality inspection is to review whether the factory's output and production capacity meet Wal-Mart's production capacity and quality requirements. The inspection mainly includes: infrastructure, quality control system, process control, final inspection, manufacturing and packaging, etc.

Wal-Mart-SCS, SCAN.

The GSV/C-TPAT certification is a supply chain security audit that involves the factory's security, warehouse, packaging, loading, and shipping.

▌ Wal-Mart factory inspection scoring standards

Social responsibility factory audit (ES factory audit) level classification: red, orange, yellow, green. Green light (no/minor violations will be reviewed within 2 years), yellow light (medium risk violations, 1 year review), orange light (high risk violations will be reviewed within 180 days), red light (very serious violations - child labor, forced/prison labor, corporal punishment, potentially life-threatening working conditions, illegal transportation - no longer cooperate)

Quality factory inspection/capacity assessment (FCCA factory inspection) classification: Wamart stipulates that 61 points or above are qualified, but based on the stricter requirements of some traders on factories, 76 points or above are generally required.

SCS factory inspection classification: Walmart stipulates that 71 points or above are qualified, and 88 points or above are valid for 2 years. Generally, independent factories or old standard industrial areas are more likely to get high scores because their physical security is better.
