Registrar and customer auditors test configuration and change control by picking a part or a recent change and following it. These are the questions we hear most, and where the kit keeps the answer.
| The auditor asks | Show them | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Which revision is this lot, and how do you know? | The traveler's revision and the status accounting entry with its effectivity | D10 |
| What defines this part, and are these the current revisions? | The part's line on the configuration register, with every item and revision | D10 |
| Show me a recent change. Who approved it, and when? | The assessment, its approval date and the change board record | D11, E13 |
| What else did you change because of it? | The impact screen and the actions, each with its evidence | D11 |
| How do you know the old revision is gone? | The issue log's withdrawal confirmations and a point-of-use check after the change | A13 |
| Walk me to the machine and show me the program revision. | The control's screen; the released revision on the register; the latest configuration check | D10 |
| How do you control customer specifications? | The external documents tab: revision held, source, last check | A13 |
| Did this process change need an FAI or customer notice? | The risk screen, the customer section and the FAI decision with its reason | E13 |
| How do your suppliers tell you about changes? | The order clause and the supplier change log | C14 |
| How long do you keep these records? | The retention tab with the basis for each period | A13 |
