50-Point Dolphin Audit — Applied Across All Zones
Regardless of which industrial park or zone a factory is in, every Dewin-audited factory passes the same 50-point Dolphin Audit across 5 pillars.
| Dolphin Audit Pillar | What We Check | Zone-Specific Relevance | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pillar 1: Facility & Safety | Physical factory compound verified, building age, layout, utilities, safety equipment, 5S organization | Validates factory is a genuine manufacturing operation — not a warehouse or shell office | 10 pts |
| Pillar 2: Equipment & Capacity | Every major machine photographed and verified operational. Brand, model, condition, capacity vs claimed. CMM, VMM, hardness testers noted. | Equipment verification is critical across all zones — VSIP and non-VSIP factories audited identically | 10 pts |
| Pillar 3: Quality Systems | ISO certification physically verified (scope, expiry, IAF registrar). NCR system, calibration logs, in-process QC, material certs. | Binh Duong/VSIP factories often have stronger ISO systems due to JV investment; Dong Nai heavy industry varies more | 10 pts |
| Pillar 4: Workforce & Management | Skilled operators verified on-site, training records, management experience, workforce size vs production capacity claims. | Northern zones (Thang Long/Nomura) typically score high due to Japanese quality culture investment | 10 pts |
| Pillar 5: Export Compliance ★ | VCCI registration verified. VCCI Form B history reviewed. Chinese input % documented. Anti-circumvention indicators. Multi-FTA CO capability (CPTPP, EVFTA, RCEP, UKVFTA). | On-site VCCI offices at VSIP parks assist Form B issuance; Dewin manages FTA CO regardless of zone | 10 pts |

What Global Buyers Say About Dewin's On-Ground Zone Knowledge
"Dewin knew every industrial park, which VCCI offices were on-site, and which factories were in established zones pre-dating the trade dispute. That level of local knowledge gave us complete confidence in our COO documentation."
"We visited factories in Binh Duong with Dewin. Seeing the established industrial zones — VSIP, the infrastructure, the equipment — confirmed this was genuine manufacturing, not a sourcing middleman guessing at factory quality."
"Dewin's team knew which provinces had better logistics, which zones had VCCI offices, and which factories could handle our EVFTA documentation for our EU shipments. That's knowledge you can only get with a real on-ground presence."
