In some cases, it is best to undergo a preaudit before embarking on a full blown audit for compliance with ACC.   This entails examining the operation from the perspective of what is required to comply with the ACC inspection or audit and ensuring that the company is ready to pass the audit the first time with a minimal amount of problems.   Working with us also gives you a value added component as we stand alone in this industry in terms of experience and perspective.  I am the only individual who is currently an auditor that has a doctorate in microbiology and that has the depth of experience in all facets of production that I have.  So while undergoing a pre-audit you can also have a technical operational audit done that can focus on general issues of productivity geared towards enhancing your profitability.
