Sometimes a crude tool is the best for the application. Having more tools in the toolbox provides more flexibility. I'm the first to agree that such checklists are usually not the best tool. Actually I would go so far as to say almost never, but almost remains a posibility for rare situations.

Hey Jim, any chance you still have it handy?

Howdy, I recently began my first quality role and found this thread while looking for a checklist to help pre-prepare for an AS9100D audit/recertification.
It's seeming like there might be a fair number of things to be corrected and looked into, if you still have that checklist Jim that could be extremely helpful and appreciated, and any other resources if you have them and would be willing to share.

Mostly such checklists are simply putting the AS9100 requirements into a question “Does the organization…” Nothing more magical that that.

Yea, from a new to the industry perspective, I do feel like the AS9100 can be pretty difficult to interpret though and pretty vague with its requirements while still having pretty specific and large expectations.
I am booked to take a week long general AS9100 auditing course which I think should be a massive help. I took one last month on root cause, and it's wild as they go through and a single sentence in the standard that doesn't have an obvious explanation can need to be implemented as a whole process for itself with only a few popular ways of going about that implementation, but also relatively not much information explaining those things line by line on the internet.
I'm thinking a fair number of things might need to be made from the ground up at my place before an audit next year, so I'm trying to make sure they're implemented well, and are able to stick and be understood by current and aging employees this time. I'm reading through what I can of general quality methods like six sigma or Toyota Production System or Kanban to help out my overall understanding and for tools to use, but they are all very deep and pretty dense.
This forum is a godsend though, and hopefully I'll be able to return the favor for all the help. It's super cool there's a community here to help support each other in this industry.
/end rant, thanks everyone!

I'm hoping you might still have an internal audit checklist that I could reference as I try to put together a last minute AS9100 audit? Unfortunately, the requirements and audit tools that I have are a little more in depth than basic AS9100 audits.
Thanks in advance!
