Hello, I have three questions:

I take it they are current suppliers, and have already been qualified?

Do you have any probelms or concerns you are trying to address, or is all rosy?

What standard, if any, do you operate to?

Jennifer,

Currently we are allowing our machine houses to select plating suppliers and we are not always happy with the results so we want to survey the plating houses and come up with a list of plating suppliers that are acceptable to us.

Most of our housings are gold plated with some being silver plated.

Jennifer,

With regard to issues, our bigest issue is blistering and or peeling of the plating.

Well then, I would abandon the idea of canned audit checklists and ask for process capability data with specific attention to these defect types.

Have the suppliers been responsive to complaints about the problems?

Sounds like you want to really investigate the part cleaning process. Peeling and blisters are indicative of contamination on the surface to be plated.
