Manufacturing organisations frequently operate across multiple facilities, each with unique operational pressures, contractor activity, and local management structures. Over time, contractor induction processes evolve independently at each site.
While this local flexibility can support day-to-day operations, it often results in variations in documentation standards, record retention practices, and induction requirements. From a corporate perspective, this creates limited visibility into how contractor compliance is managed across the broader manufacturing network.
During compliance reviews and internal audits, these inconsistencies can require manual reconciliation of site-level records, creating administrative burden and reducing confidence in governance alignment.
Without centralised oversight, contractor induction becomes a site-managed activity rather than a structured corporate compliance framework.
