Supplier Quality Audits focused on process control, not paperwork

Supplier performance issues are rarely caused by missing procedures. they are caused by weak process control, poor traceability, ineffective corrective actions, and unmanaged change. our supplier quality audits focus on how parts are actually made, inspected, and controlled. not just what is written in the quality manual.
