How to Use the Supplier Quality Audit Template

When to Use This Template

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Most aerospace audits fail by conflating observations with findings or skipping traceability verification steps.

  • Listing observations as major findings without contractual requirement
  • Missing special process approval verification for heat treat
  • Incomplete flow-down clause assessment from prime contract requirements
