Contract Manufacturer Inventory Audit

Full Visibility Into Material Flow

Our Contract Manufacturer Inventory Audit Services help organizations gain full visibility into material flow, inventory accuracy, and system compliance across their global manufacturing network. We validate data integrity between ERP systems and physical inventory, ensuring every component, transaction, and movement aligns with contractual and operational standards.

Core Inventory Audit Capabilities

ERP Attribute Verification

Verification of part codes, descriptions, classifications and attributes in ERP systems to ensure accuracy and standardization across contract manufacturers.

BOM Quantity Verification

Detailed auditing of Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure material issuance and consumption aligns with engineering and production standards.

Book vs. Actual Consumption Analysis

Reconciliation of ERP-recorded consumption with actual usage to identify inefficiencies, leakage, and material variances.

Demand vs. Supply Alignment

Analysis of demand forecasts and available supply to identify shortages, overstocking risks, and planning inconsistencies.

ERP vs. Physical Stock Validation

End-to-end physical inventory verification matched against ERP data to identify discrepancies and root causes.

Material Movement & Invoice Verification

Audit of material transfers, receipts, and invoices to ensure accurate system posting and compliance with vendor agreements.

RTV/RMA Tracking & Non-Moving Stock Analysis

Tracking of Return to Vendor (RTV), Return Material Authorization (RMA), and identification of slow-moving or obsolete inventory to recover working capital.

Additional Operational Assurance

Cycle Count Accuracy Enhancement

Ensure periodic verification processes are reliable, well-documented, and aligned with corporate audit and compliance guidelines.

Aged Stock Review

Identify slow-moving, excess, or obsolete components early to minimize financial exposure and prevent inventory write-offs.

Inventory Traceability Validation

Verify end-to-end traceability across receipts, work-in-progress, consumption, and shipments to ensure complete audit readiness.

Master Data Clean-Up

Maintain accurate part attributes, units of measure, lead times, sourcing rules, and supplier assignments to support ERP stability and operational efficiency.
