The problem it solves
A special process can only be verified by controlling the process itself, because the result cannot be fully checked afterward. Yet supplier audits of special processes often stop at the accreditation certificate on the wall and a tour of the line. The rejects keep coming because nobody read the tank log for the weeks your lots ran, or the furnace survey date against your load. This checklist takes an auditor through the records that matter, process by process, with the evidence written down, findings graded, actions dated and the result counted, so the approval decision rests on what was seen.
Who uses it
Supplier quality engineers and quality engineers who audit special process suppliers, and the quality manager who decides their approval.
When
Before approving a new special process source, after a reject or an escape from one, at the interval your Special Process Supplier Control Matrix (AQL-C16) sets, and when a supplier changes its process, equipment or location.
