Field Reports
Short notes from inspection, audit and verification work: what was checked on site, what was found, and how the finding was recorded.
Inspection
- Carton count short against the packing list at loading
A loading check is the last point where a quantity problem is still cheap to fix. Reconcile the count at the door, not from the documents.

- Moisture in cartons before a sea shipment
Mould complaints usually start with how the carton sits in the warehouse, not with the product. Ask what the pallet stands on and how long packed goods wait.

Factory audit
- Fire exits in a shared factory building
In a shared building, a supplier can be compliant on its own floor and still be unable to guarantee the route out. Ask who controls the exit, not just whether the exit exists.

Supplier verification
- A key process was subcontracted and not disclosed
In-house claims are the ones worth walking. If a process has no equipment on the floor, it happens somewhere else, and you should know where.
