I have assisted in an audit for the quality department and was honestly amazed in the company’s systematic ability to answer questions correctly and intelligently. The biggest lesson that I have learned from seeing an audit is to never give information unless it is asked. The quality department can give great information and documentation but they are also sure to not offer information that the auditor is not asking about. The quality department is a key aspect to the audit but the production and R&D are often brought in as material specialist to discuss the documents that they are responsible for.
