Warehouse VAS Value Added Services Audit

Inspection template for auditing warehouse value-added services, including kitting, labeling, assembly, and customer specification compliance.

Audit Setup and Work Order Control

• Audit scope, customer, and work order are identified
  Confirm the audit references the correct customer, SKU(s), lot(s), and work order or service order.
• Current customer specification or SOP is available at point of use
  The latest approved specification must be accessible to operators and inspectors.
• Work order quantities match the planned VAS output
  Record the quantity variance if any. Planned and completed quantities should reconcile.
• Material staging is segregated by order and status
  Raw, in-process, completed, hold, and rejected materials should be clearly separated and identified.
• Required tools, labels, packaging, and components are available
  Verify the correct materials and tools are available before work begins to prevent substitutions.

Kitting Accuracy

• Kit contents match the approved kit list or BOM
  All required components, quantities, and variants must match the approved build list.
• Component counts are correct for sampled kits
  Record the number of sampled kits inspected and whether counts were accurate.
• No unauthorized substitutions or missing components
  Any substitution must be approved by the customer or authorized internal control.
• Kitting sequence and pack-out method follow the work instruction
  Verify the order of assembly, packing, and insertion follows the documented process.
• Kit identification is unique and traceable
  Each kit should be traceable to the work order, lot, date, and operator or line as required.

Labeling and Identification

• Product and shipping labels match customer specification
  Verify label content, format, placement, and barcode symbology against the approved label standard.
• Label text is legible and barcode scans successfully
  Labels must be readable and scannable at normal handling distance.
• Label placement is consistent and secure
  Labels should not be wrinkled, obscured, or placed where they can detach during handling.
• Required hazard, handling, or orientation markings are present
  Select all markings required by the customer specification or product handling requirements.
• Label version and print template are controlled
  Only approved label versions should be used; obsolete templates must be removed from use.

Assembly and Repackaging Quality

• Assembly matches the approved work instruction
  Check that the assembly steps performed match the documented sequence and acceptance criteria.
• Finished units are free from visible damage or defects
  Inspect for crushed packaging, missing parts, misalignment, contamination, or other observable defects.
• Repackaging materials are correct and undamaged
  Verify cartons, inserts, dunnage, seals, and protective materials meet the required specification.
• Seal integrity and closure method are acceptable
  Packages should be properly closed, sealed, and able to withstand normal handling.
• Finished goods are protected from contamination and mix-up
  Check that completed items are isolated from open components, debris, and unrelated orders.

Traceability and Non-Conformance

• Lot, batch, serial, or date code traceability is maintained
  Traceability must support forward and backward tracking as required by the customer or internal QMS.
• Non-conforming material is clearly identified and segregated
  Hold, reject, and rework material must be visibly marked and physically separated.
• Deviation or rework authorization is documented
  Any deviation from the approved process must have documented approval before release.
• Disposition of defects is recorded
  Record whether defects were scrapped, reworked, returned, or otherwise dispositioned.
• Corrective action owner and due date are assigned
  Document the responsible person and target completion date for any open non-conformance.

Warehouse Safety and Housekeeping

• Aisles, exits, and emergency routes are unobstructed
  Emergency egress routes must remain clear and usable at all times.
• Housekeeping prevents slip, trip, and debris hazards
  Floors, work surfaces, and staging areas should be free of unnecessary debris, spills, and loose materials.
• PPE is available and being used as required
  Verify required PPE such as gloves, safety glasses, high-visibility apparel, or cut protection is in use.
• Fire extinguishers and alarm devices are accessible
  Fire protection equipment must be visible, accessible, and not blocked by staging or pallets.
• Electrical cords, chargers, and powered tools are in safe condition
  Inspect for damaged cords, improper daisy-chaining, exposed conductors, or unsafe tool use.
