Identify companies with documented quality assurance workflows

What it is

QA workflows describe how a company inspects, tests, records and corrects quality issues. Examples include inspection checklists, non-conformance reports and corrective actions.

A hypothetical example

Illustrative: a manufacturer keeps inspection procedures and anonymized non-conformance records under a formal quality system.

What makes it useful

• Structured records with outcomes
• Documented root-cause and corrective actions
• Alignment with a formal quality system

Rights and sensitivity questions

• Customer specifications may be confidential
• Regulated sectors may restrict sharing

How to recognize it without exporting it

Ask: "Do you run a formal quality system, and how do you record non-conformances?"
