The PSCI is pleased to introduce the Maturity Models in this informative video. The Maturity Models are a very useful tool for suppliers to evaluate their current practices and plot a course for improvement. They allow users to evaluate their company practices against the PSCI Principles and signpost the user to the resources needed to progress.
A clear process has been defined to ensure PSCI Audits are consistent and rigorous. A suite of tools are available to support and guide through the process. Follow the link to read more about:
In order to ensure quality and integrity, PSCI Audits are carried out either by qualified internal auditors working at PSCI member companies or by professional and independent third party audit firms.
PSCI has approved fifteen professional, independent third party audit firms to perform PSCI Audits.
Supplier Self-initiated Audit Programme (SSIA) is a pilot programme led by PSCI Audit Committee to encourage suppliers to take a proactive, risk-based approach and self-initiate PSCI audits for their facilities.
With the pilot programme this year, the PSCI will pay for a new Supplier Self-initiated Audit of the supplier facility. The audit should be completed by a PSCI approved audit firm and shared with PSCI members on the Link. Any supplier to PSCI Member can apply to participate in SSIA.
