OEM Audit of Contract Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) Provider

Provider Audit and Selection | DOCX | $179

EMS providers prepare for your visit. They control the tour route, the talking points, and which areas you see. Without a structured framework, you evaluate what the provider wants you to see rather than what you need to know. This scored workbook forces the evaluation into every functional area that impacts your manufacturing program, including the areas providers do not volunteer. It covers quality systems, business operations, design technology, production technology, process controls, training, materials management, and cybersecurity and data protection and more.

Each of the 66 evaluation items is scored on a structured scale with dedicated notes fields for auditor observations. The workbook includes a scoring summary that compiles section results into an overall provider rating with defined qualification thresholds and an auditor sign-off. Designed to be used consistently across multiple provider assessments so evaluations are defensible, comparable, and not dependent on the subjective impressions of a single site visit.

This document is delivered as an editable Word file (.docx) so you can customize it for your specific program requirements.

Who this is for
