Production Process Self-Check Workbook (own structure)

What is in it

30 questions in 7 areas, each answered Yes, Partly or No, with columns for evidence or notes, owner and due date:

Planning
Supplier and purchased parts
Production process
People and qualification
Goods in, storage and handling
Nonconforming product
Customer care

An instructions sheet explains how to answer, and a summary sheet counts the answers per area. The workbook carries the version line "8D Gate Production Process Self-Check Workbook v1.0 · 2026-10-25".

Who it is for

Quality engineers, process owners and supplier quality staff who want a structured look at one production process before a customer visit or their own process audit, in their own words and at their own pace.

How N/A works

N/A is accepted only on six event questions, where it means "no such case in the last 12 months". On any other question, N/A counts as No, and so does any other text. Upper or lower case and extra spaces do not matter.

How the result works

With no answers, the result reads "Answer the questions to see a result."
While answers are missing, it reads "Incomplete: N of 30 answered. Empty answers count as No." and shows no band.
With all 30 answered and no Partly or No, it reads "No gaps found in your answers." with no band name.
Otherwise it shows one of three bands: "Several areas to close first", "Some gaps" or "Few gaps to close first".

A gap is a question answered Partly or No. The result shows the gap answers out of the applicable questions and the areas with a gap out of 7, so you can see why a band was given. It gives no points, percent or grade. Bands are our own and not from any standard or auditor. Any 'No' answer keeps the result at 'Some gaps' or worse.

A filled fictional example in the workbook shows the band "Some gaps" with 29 applicable questions; all companies and data in it are invented.
