Presentation Rev. Dear lient, Pro Q International was engaged to help factory XXXXXXX comply with The Home Depot Supplier Requirements. The Home Depot was planning to audit the factory and the goal of this engagement was to ensure that the factory passed the rd party audit and became an approved supplier to The Home Depot. Pro Q started this project in July 18, 2017, by conducting an Initial Evaluation based on The Home Depot Quality System Assessment requirements at supplier XXXXXXXXXXXX. The scope of the initial assessment covered following: hapter 1: Product Finish ontrol hapter 2: Paint ompliance hapter : Packaging Assessment hapter 4: Quality System Assessment The rd page of this document, Initial Audit Summary, provides the results of the Initial Assessment, with level of compliance for each hapter. The green bar shows the level of compliance with the requirement while the yellow and red bar show the level of incompleteness and non-compliance with the requirement respectively. On August 1, 217, Pro Q established a orrective Plan in sheet orrective Plan Follow- Up based on the findings of the Initial Assessment conducted on Juy 18, 2017. The sheet presents 1 violations, each describing the content of the Violation, including the corresponding elements of The Home Depot's requirement, a proposed orrective, target date to complete the corrective action and actual date of completion. The orrective Plan was presented to representative members at the factory XXXXXX. Since the factory did not have any knowledge about the requirements of The Home Depot, it was clear that the project leader at Pro Q International would have to lead them with coaching, preparation of documentation, training and monitoring. The page Documentation is the list of documents Pro Q developed and provided to the factory as foundation for the system. In total 12 policies, 8 procedures and around record templates were developed during the phase of coaching. The project was completed in 6 visits to the factory XXXXXX, each visit had an update of the current level of completion as described in the page AP Progress. Photos of evidence of completion were also added under Photo. On August 0, 2017, 2 month after beginning, Pro Q International completed corrective action for 1 violations, around 100% of open violations. Pro Q also conducted a pre-audit to ensure that all members at the factory were ready to receive the final audit from a designated rd party audit firm. The factory XXXXXX was audited by a rd part audit firm and got a score of 87% which is sufficient for the factory XXXXXX to become an approved supplier for The Home Depot. The Home Depot QSA 2/49
