QMI

QMI

amfori Quality Management Initiative (QMI) helps companies understand how well quality is managed by their suppliers. As supply chains become more complex, factories are often assessed against different quality requirements by different buyers, leading to repeated audits and unclear results. QMI uses one common way to review quality, making it easier to see what works, what needs improvement, and to reduce repeated audits across suppliers.

Audit Methodology

  • Only qualified and authorized auditors shall conduct amfori QMI audits
  • All amfori QMI audits shall be requested and administrated via the amfori Platform
  • amfori QMI audit can be conducted only in facilities that are registered on the amfori platform and who have a member taken over the responsibility for the factory (RSP holder)
