Supplier Audit Checklist for Indian Foundries

Start with management system evidence: quality manual, ISO alignment, training records, and corrective action process.

On the shop floor, verify melting control, inoculation practice for ductile iron, molding consistency, and core making capability.

Review inspection equipment calibration, sampling plans, and traceability from heat number to casting batch.

Score suppliers on engineering responsiveness, capacity realism, and export experience to Europe — not price alone.
