Quick answer
Where review rules allow, group factories applying and scheduling together can coordinate on document review and opening training, and travel may be diluted. But each factory's site conditions, shared lines and system operation are reviewed separately; person-days cannot simply be divided by factory count. Give the agency the factory list, relationships and addresses for a written assessment stating which stages can merge and which must stay separate.
Detailed explanation
Stages that may be coordinated
- A group-wide supplier list and formula management platform.
- Centralized document review and a single correction window.
- Consecutive scheduling for nearby factories, merging travel.
- Joint opening training and consolidated discussion of common issues.
Stages that cannot merge
- Layout, equipment and hygiene zoning are checked plant by plant.
- Shared-line and cross-contamination risks are judged per factory.
- Personnel interviews and record sampling are conducted independently.
Shared Audit-Day Planning Advice
Provide the group structure, addresses and product division early, and request a written merger plan with person-day estimates; the quote should list shared and separate portions, so a 'package discount' cannot hide missing per-plant review. Neighboring sites near Nanchang or Jiujiang can seek consecutive scheduling, but each factory receives its own independent conclusion that cannot be substituted by another's.
