We are wondering how many of you work to keep all the different supplier documents up to date all the time? We are constantly chasing documentation for their audits etc. Just curious what is easiest
Thank you for your time

Even though it's a pain, you still have to get all needed documents from your suppliers as it's their responsibility to supply you with all documentation pertaining to the products they supply you with. That's a regulatory requirement. I don't think there's an easy way to get it - except for threats, maybe:)

I update my file ONCE PER YEAR, so yes, some of the documents may be out of date/expired mid year. I start late December as our audit window is march-april so that gives me enough time to complete
Yes, I have to chase a couple of vendors, but that is calculated as part of the risk. I put a note on my spreadsheet with each date (after the first time) i emailed again asking for info

I do absolutely the same as Scampi, also I keep notes of whom I expect information from and when my inquiry was sent.

I'd bet the majority of us are stuck doing this in Excel files, and it's never a fun task. I like to use the conditional formatting in a column with the vendor's certificate expiration date to show me when vendors are close to expiring and actually expired. Opening the spreadsheet once a month and scanning it for highlighted certificate dates makes the job a bit less tedious, which is good since getting vendors to send their information is like pulling teeth sometimes...

It's simplified via Mutually Agreed/Documented Specifications. Unless perhaps the Raw Material is from a Boat !
