The evaluation form covers common fields such as quality, delivery, cost, and systems, and weights can be adjusted according to category risk.
It can be used in conjunction with the Word template for supplier audit reports (additional report files in the same directory can be linked as needed).
Send the agenda and document list before the audit, record objective evidence and scoring reasons on-site; initiate special improvement and re-audit plans when significant risks are identified.
Update supplier classification in conjunction with APQP stage gates and PPAP status.
Avoid scoring that is overly moderate and lacks differentiation; auditors must declare any conflicts of interest with procurement.
Sensitive business information should be handled with confidentiality agreements and de-identified attachments.
