Supplier audits document the relationship between companies and verify that a supplier's products and processes comply with what was agreed during selection. This 60-minute supplier audit training explains how to run them so they add value.
An audit can uncover nonconformances in manufacturing, engineering change, invoicing, quality and shipment processes. You'll see how audits support an overall quality system, including document and records control, operations control, management review, nonconforming product control, calibration control and contract review.
The session also covers supplier measurement, proactive and reactive risk mitigation, and building a supplier quality management function that shares improvements for common gain.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Many companies need to confirm supplier compliance but struggle to free up engineers for field audits without delaying current projects. Others want better return on auditing (ROA) or an audit process tied to internal goals and supplier commitments.
This session suits site quality operations managers, QA and QC lab staff, plant managers and supervisors, manufacturing managers and regulatory affairs managers who want a consistent, mutually beneficial supplier audit program.
