PSPP evaluates supplier capability, quality systems, and manufacturing processes through structured technical audits. Assignments cover supplier and capability audits, process and quality-system audits, and project-specific compliance audits — giving procurement and engineering teams an objective basis for vendor decisions.
What an audit covers
- Supplier capability assessment — plant, equipment, personnel competence and actual throughput against the scope you intend to place
- Quality-system audit against ISO 9001:2015, including gap assessment where a supplier is working towards certification
- Process audit of the specific manufacturing route your equipment will follow — welding, coating, machining, assembly, E&I
- Traceability and records audit: material control, calibration control, personnel qualification, nonconformity handling
- Project-specific compliance audit against your purchase order, specification and applicable codes
An audit produces a graded finding list with objective evidence against each item, not a pass/fail opinion. PSPP audits suppliers on your behalf; it is not a certification body and an audit report is not a certificate.

Methodology
Every audit follows a written plan agreed before the visit, so the findings are defensible afterwards:
- Agree the audit scope, standard and acceptance criteria with you, then issue an audit plan to the supplier
- Review the supplier’s quality manual, procedures, certifications and previous audit history in advance
- Audit on site against the agreed checklist — capability, competence, equipment, traceability and records
- Record objective evidence against every finding and classify each one by severity
- Hold a closing meeting so the supplier acknowledges the findings before the report is issued
- Issue the audit report with a corrective-action request, then verify closure of each finding
