C. Examine performance reports, audits, and inspections. Examining performance reports, audits, and inspections is a direct way to monitor the supplier's actual performance against their commitments. This approach allows the program manager to assess whether the supplier is on track and to identify any discrepancies early on. It also provides a basis for taking corrective actions if necessary to ensure that the supplier's performance aligns with the program's needs for the product launch.
