Quality evidence should be reusable

Certificates, audit outputs and corrective actions often support buyer, onboarding and compliance requirements beyond the quality team.

Keep findings connected to requirements

An audit finding should identify the requirement, affected supplier scope, severity and supporting evidence.

Use CAPA as a controlled workflow

Root cause, corrective action and verification should remain visible to procurement and compliance when they affect supplier approval.

Preserve closed findings

Historical remediation helps future reviewers understand repeated issues and supplier performance over time.
