My company has moved to being an SAO (self-Auditing Org). Besides the usual canned check sheets that call out the "shall, will and must" is there another tool I can use while auditing the Engineering Dept? I will not be auditing the Manufacturing floor only in the Engineering Dept.
Thank you!

Yes, Mary! Your knowledge of the Engineering process, today. For clarification, we are talking about New Product Introduction or "design" Engineering, right?
So, sit down and think about what you know - or can research - about the actual process, its objectives and current performance. Once you're armed with a good understanding of the process, follow your nose! You should know all about the issues which affect the process - post launch changes, supplier issues, project over-runs - all manner of opportunities to improve...
