Supplier Audit Process Flowchart

Key notes

1. Complete form: The Approver or co-auditors fill out the form.
2. Score: Automatically calculated from the answers. The Approver can adjust the customer_score (optional) only in Conducted.
3. Corrective actions: The Approver requests and accepts actions/evidence. The Leader creates and closes actions.
4. Close conditions:
   • No response marked as “requires action” can be left without an action.
   • If corrective actions were requested, there must be at least one, and all must be accepted or closed.
   • If corrective actions are requested and no actions are created, the audit cannot be closed.
5. PDF: Can be generated by the creator or approver in any status. Recommended after score and actions.
6. Acknowledge: The Leader can do it from the moment the audit is no longer Drafted. It does not block the flow.
