SEA - Supplier Excellence Alliance

SEA Certification can consist of two steps. First the self-assessment where you can determine where you are, and second, the on-site audit where you have a certified examiner perform a 3-day on-site audit to certify your company in Stage 1, 2, or 3 of the SEA Roadmap. The biennial audit is $9,700. and the annual survellience audit is $3,500.
