Vendor (Supplier) Audit Form as a Controlled Form and as a Record

DuttonT · Sep 25, 2007

Looking for information on using a vendor audit as a record.

My questionaaire may change from vendor to vendor depending on the type of product/process they provide.

If I keep the vendor audit as a controlled form, I wil need to ECO each time I perform an audit or send the vendor a questionnaire.

So, does anyone else use a questionnaire as a record with no controlling ID ?

Thanks in advance

You're confusing records and forms. They're different animals. Filled-out forms often become records, but a blank form doesn't. You can still have one form and just incorporate all of the questions in it, whether or not they'll be used for each supplier.

That is a thought that hadn't occurred to me.....I was happier that way.

I had always visualized whirled peas as being mashed like potatos.

Right, Jim. Too often these are confused. Plus, there is no requirement that you have a "form" for an audit checklist that has all the questions listed. Or, as Jim alludes to, you can have a "template" type form and pick and choose relevent questons.

Hi DuttonT,

Most audit forms I have or have used in the past contain all the potential questions that may need to be addressed, with an option to check "N/A" when that item was not applicable to that particular vendor. Is that an option that could work for you?

Thanks,

I had thought about using one for all, however I get a lot of "to many questions". So I will be using product or supplier specific questions and try to keep around 10 questions.
