PSA Purpose:
The purpose of the PSA audit is to assess a supplier's basic technical, manufacturing, quality and service capabilities.
It is very important that the PSA is performed jointly between SQ, Purchasing and Engineering.
A PSA should be conducted if DUNS Location is not on Sourcability Report or highlighted in BLUE.
PSA Audit:
1 During sourcing process, a supplier is found to be quoting a location not on Sourceablity report or BLUE on report
2 Buyer to notify SQ CT Lead that evaluation is needed.
3 SQ CT LEAD, with help of BUYER to Fill out top part of "Title"Tab & "Summary and Signatures" Tab and forward Audit to Supplier
4 Supplier to fill out TECHNICAL REVIEW DELIVERABLES Tab and return to SQ CT lead one week prior to Tech review
5 SQ CT LEAD, BUYER, and BFO to review information provided
6 If supplier passes initial Technical Review Deliverables, then a On-site Audit will be scheduled
7 SQ will schedule a joint onsite meeting.
a. A cross-functional team with a representative from Engineer and Purchasing will join SQ on site.
b. Should a representative not attend, please mark accordinging on Title page
c. Each cross functional team member will be required to sign off on PSA, regardless of attendance.
8 Pre Audit Preparation
a. Schedule a prep session with supplier. It is best to review audit questions prior arriving. This will save time day of audit
b. Ensure that the correct personel will be on hand for the day of onsite audit.
9 Conduct Audit
a. Audit typically takes a day to perform (start at 8am should finish by 3pm)
10 Post Audit
a. Type up notes and finish scoring
b. Share results with supplier
c. Have supplier create an open issues list for any red items.
11 If supplier Passed audit, get appropriate approval signature
a. Signed PSA to be posted into SCMS and used as supporting documentation for QUAD.
12 Post Results in SCMS
a. Add record. Create Record Type Audit
b. Select PSA.
c. Open record and take survey
d. Add attachment and attach signed PSA Results
e. Hit refresh to ensure status update.
