Compliance challenges for the manufacturing industry
![Compliance officer challenge](https://www.ganintegrity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/website/industry/manufacturing/Comliance%20officer%20challenge7.webp?width=1876&height=1876&name=Comliance%20officer%20challenge7.webp)
As a compliance professional in the manufacturing industry, it often feels like you're fighting an unfair fight. You are tasked with navigating an extensive range of regulations, standards, and guidelines that vary across jurisdictions and constantly shift with emerging risks. The complexity of your industry, characterized by intricate supply chains, further compounds compliance, geopolitical, and location risks.
The responsibility doesn't end within your company's four walls; it reaches into the entire extended enterprise. You need to know who your third parties, suppliers, and intermediaries are, ensure they maintain appropriate controls to meet your ethical standards, and continuously monitor changes in their risk profiles.
This is a daunting challenge, especially when compliance teams are often small and resources are spread thin across multiple departments. Silos are common, particularly when working with disparate compliance and business systems that fail to integrate and communicate effectively.
You deserve better.
Key areas of compliance in manufacturing
Manufacturing companies are complex enterprises. There are many areas of compliance, ethics, and risk that need to be managed, spanning everything from Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Anti-Bribery And Corruption (ABAC). These include:
- ABAC Compliance: Upholding anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and standards.
- Supply Chain Due Diligence: Examination and evaluation of the supply chain beyond Tier 1 to manage compliance and ethical risks.
- Data Protection: Safeguarding sensitive information.
- Environmental Compliance: Minimizing detrimental ecological impact of manufacturing activities.
- Labor Laws: Observing fair employment practices.
- Intellectual Property Security: Protecting patents and trademarks.
- Export Controls: Complying with international trade laws.
- Quality Control & Assurance: Ensuring products meet standards.
- Workplace Safety: Implementing safe working conditions.

What Our Customers Say
The other piece that I really liked about GAN, related to the investigations and the case management, was that it was pretty simple and straightforward. For a company like ours, which is a manufacturing company, we’re averaging somewhere between 20 and 30 cases coming in a month. We don’t need a lot of complexity. We need it to be pretty simple, straightforward, and easy to use. And that was one of the things that really appealed to me about GAN.
