AMCHAM’s Supply Chain Audit Network (SCAN) Tool was developed to allow member companies to better understand their supply chain ecosystem. Member companies are able to upload a list of suppliers and monitor their compliance with prescribed SOPs and guidelines through a set of checklists.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, we would strongly encourage our member companies who are not yet using the SCAN Tool to do so and register with us. Please reach out to Bryan at scan@amcham.com.my.
