Manufacturing Internal Process Audit Template

by Quality Systems, from the Community

This IATF 16949 manufacturing internal process audit template helps teams assess production areas such as slitter, blanker, and cut-to-length (CTL) operations. It guides auditors through pre‑audit planning, process approach and risk‑based thinking, and detailed clause-based checks across roles including team members, team leaders, QC/Product, QC/Process, Production Control, Maintenance, and auditors. Use it to verify control plans, standardized work, training records, equipment verification, traceability, nonconformance handling, contingency planning, and customer-specific requirements. The template supports evidence capture via notes and photos and includes sections for shift handover observations, packaging and labeling checks, and sign-off to complete the audit.
