A supplier file fails the hour someone treats a brochure as a test. Split the pages before the meeting, and leave a row blank when the file is missing.
This checklist is the deliverable. It is a list of questions. It does not say that any machine passed a named scheme. No model, speed, or power is printed, because no manufacturer sheet was opened for this draft. A local library search was not used to fill those cells.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration study section dated 9 August 2004 asked a panel which problems apply at a processor. “Poor plant and equipment sanitation” and “contamination of raw materials” were on that list. This page uses those names as reasons to ask for a file. It does not treat the 2004 list as the rule that applies to a plant today. The current regulation was not opened.
Expected deliverables
| Title promise | What is on this page | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| A checklist | The questions below | Each line asks for a document or says to leave the line blank |
| Pile | Ask | Leave blank if |
|---|---|---|
| Record | Which page names the object, the date, and the person who signed? | The page has no date |
| Test | Which page names the method, the sample, and the result? | The result is only a slogan |
| Claim | Which sentence has no file behind it? | You have not marked it as a claim |
| Sanitation | Where is the cleaning instruction, and which parts does it stop short of? | The instruction is not in the file |
| Materials | Which record covers the raw material or the contact material? | The lot is not identified |
- Put the brochure in the claim pile even when the wording sounds technical.
- Do not copy a peer plant's numbers into this file and call them yours.
- Do not write a pass or a fail in the margin of this sheet.
- Take the sanitation questions to the cleanability page.
- Take the pack questions to the seal page.
The same study’s further-reading list names an old audit document on this domain. That citation is explained, with the year, on the history page. It is not a reason to treat this checklist as an audit.
