The April publication audit will be conducted by whom?

• A. QA only
• B. Shops only
• C. QA and Shops
• D. QA and Supervisors

Answer: (C)

Publication audits verify that technical publications are accurate, current, and aligned with actual shop practices. The best answer reflects collaboration between Quality Assurance and the Shops because QA provides the standards, checks for documentation integrity, and ensures updates are proper. The Shops bring hands-on knowledge of how procedures are actually carried out and what equipment or steps are used in the field. Together, they ensure that published procedures match real work and are compliant with requirements. Relying on QA alone could miss gaps between what’s written and what’s done in the shop, while Shops alone might lack formal QA oversight. Involving QA and Supervisors adds supervisory perspective, but the hands-on validation from the Shops is essential, which is why QA and Shops are the correct combination.
