how to quickly audit a supplier based on a single visit
Easy. Determine your requirements for this new supplier. Develop a list of audit points. Go visit. Report.

The "standard" checklists you'll see floating around may contain some good stuff, but is likely overkill. Most important is what your organization expects. Just focus on that. Supplier and you will be happy.

how to quickly audit a supplier based on a single visit
Before you can reasonably do (any) audit, you have to have a couple of things. As Stijloor says,'requirements'. I'd interpret that as an audit objective - why are you doing this audit? then you have to know what audit criteria you are using; is it a product specification, a corrective action for defective product, the supplier's quality manual etc.

Without a clear definition of these two things which must also be communicated to the supplier, your audit is not likely to succeed.

Once you have these important requirements defined, you can then develop your audit plan and checklist.

If you need more help, come back and see us!

Another important item is the 'scope' of this supplier audit.

Are you intending to audit their whole quality system? Are you interested in a specific product line. Have they made something for you already and you're interested in knowing more about a specific control?

The scope of the audit defines the 'boundaries' and is important after you've established the objective(s) and criteria.
