Vendor Qualification Audit Form

Streamline Vendor Qualification with a Professional Audit Form

For manufacturing operations, supplier quality directly impacts your production standards, delivery schedules, and customer satisfaction. This Vendor Qualification Audit Form gives quality control teams, procurement managers, and operations leaders a structured framework to evaluate potential and existing suppliers against your quality standards.

Built for Manufacturing Quality Control

Whether you're qualifying new vendors, conducting annual supplier audits, or reassessing existing partnerships, this template covers the critical evaluation areas: facility capabilities, quality management systems, process controls, documentation standards, and overall operational readiness.

Paperform's conditional logic ensures auditors only see relevant follow-up questions based on initial responses, while calculation fields can automatically score vendor performance across multiple criteria. The professional, branded layout helps your audit process feel as rigorous as your quality standards.

From Audit to Action with Workflow Automation

Once an audit is submitted, Stepper (stepper.io) can automate what happens next. Route approvals to quality managers, trigger different workflows based on audit scores (approved, conditional, or rejected), update your supplier database in Airtable or your ERP system, and send templated emails to vendors with next steps—all without manual handoffs.

Need vendor signatures on corrective action plans or quality agreements? Use Papersign (papersign.com) to send documents for eSignature immediately after audit completion, creating a complete audit trail from assessment to formal approval.

Designed for Quality Teams in Manufacturing

This template is perfect for quality assurance managers, supplier quality engineers, procurement specialists, and operations teams in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, and other industries where supplier qualification is mission-critical. Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and robust security features ensure your audit data and supplier information stay protected.

Replace spreadsheets and PDF checklists with a modern, mobile-friendly audit form that your team can complete on-site during facility tours, sync responses in real-time, and generate consistent documentation for ISO 9001, AS9100, or other quality management system requirements.
