Dear Coves,
I belong to a team that is responsible for evaluating the Quality Management System of the Suppliers. Frankly speaking, variation does exist in our evaluation process. Some evaluators exaggerate the actual risk, some under-estimate, Some ignore, etc. We say, variation in the manufacturing process is inevitable, is it the same for evaluation process as well? More interestingly, i would like to understand how Certification bodies manage the Variation among their Lead Auditors?
Thanks.

) but maybe some case studies and review of answers can identify trends. In my experience of working with CBs both internally and externally, these can work well.
