4 reasons why Walmart ES factory inspection will give you a yellow light for the first time

Many companies expect to get a green light when they do Walmart ES factory inspection. In fact, getting a yellow light is the best result of Walmart ES factory inspection. The yellow light audit result is valid for 1 year. Some manufacturers we have met in the past thought that they could get a green light valid for 2 years if they worked hard. In fact, this is not the case, and it is very likely to backfire.
How can you get a yellow light for Walmart ES factory audit? According to the classification of problems in Walmart ES factory audit, first make sure you are very clear about what are the red and orange light items, and secondly, make sure your factory does not touch these items. Improve other issues after meeting the above requirements. Some factories cannot distinguish the importance of problems at all, and only focus on improving the yellow and green light issues, resulting in the problems left as high-level orange and red light items;
Walmart ES factory inspection does not adopt a scoring system, that is, it is not judged by the number of problems, but by the importance of the problems. Why does Walmart ES factory inspection, that is, Walmart social responsibility factory inspection, have to get a yellow light result the first time?

1. The first Walmart ES factory inspection was completely scheduled, and the preparation time and steps were very sufficient;
2. All subsequent Walmart ES factory inspections are surprise audits without informing the factory, and you can imagine how difficult it is;
3. Walmart will change the audit company for subsequent ES factory audits. Due to competition or other psychological considerations, the auditors of the follow-up audit company will generally not allow a factory that did not pass the last audit to pass the follow-up audit.
4. Although Walmart has officially stipulated that the minimum number of orange lights in two years will affect factory orders, middlemen are under greater assessment pressure. Therefore, factories that receive two consecutive orange lights in Walmart ES inspections rarely have the opportunity to be inspected again.
