I would first identify the suppliers to be audited based on risk assessment and performance metrics. Then, I would collaborate with cross-functional teams to plan the audits and develop audit checklists. During the audits, I would assess suppliers' quality management systems, evaluate their processes and procedures, and review documentation to ensure compliance with our company's standards and regulatory requirements.

Yes, I have extensive experience in conducting supplier audits. In my previous role as a Senior Supplier Quality Engineer at XYZ Company, I successfully conducted over 50 audits of our critical and strategic suppliers. These audits were instrumental in driving significant improvements in supplier performance and product quality. I implemented a risk-based approach to prioritize audits, considering factors such as supplier history, product complexity, and regulatory requirements. I developed comprehensive audit checklists that covered all relevant quality management system elements, such as document control, supplier qualification, CAPA processes, and product traceability. During the audits, I used statistical analysis and process control methodologies to evaluate supplier processes and identify areas for improvement. Through root cause analysis and corrective action processes, I worked closely with suppliers to address non-conformances, resulting in a 30% reduction in supplier-related quality issues. Moreover, I proactively collaborated with suppliers to provide technical guidance and support, resulting in a 20% improvement in supplier compliance with engineering specifications. These accomplishments demonstrate my ability to effectively manage supplier audits, drive continuous improvement, and enhance product quality throughout the supply chain.
