Instructions

  2. Analyze the supplier's quality management system against industry best practices and the specified criteria.
  3. Assess their quality control processes (e.g., inspection, testing, corrective actions).
  4. Evaluate their track record: past non-compliance, recalls, or quality incidents.
  5. Identify potential gaps and risks.
