Be prepared, not surprised. All visitors must be treated in the same way, enthusiastically and cordially. Be organized. And more surprise visits are common.
If you have a solid QA system that documents all processes and key information, you're always ready for an onsite visit—whether it's announced or a surprise. With everything in place, last-minute prep becomes minimal. Staff should know the system and the data inside out, so when a site visit happens, they’re confident and prepared for audits and reviews. At the end of the day, the visit is just a way to test how effective your system is—so it’s a win-win. The best approach? Always be ready. Do it right the first time.
Training is essential to be prepared for any and all visits. Either scheduled or unnannounced.

Preparation is key. Confirming that you have all the requirements in place to have confidence in completing an unscheduled audit will alleviate any stress.
Be prepared, not surprised! Site visit success comes from preparation and organization. Additionally, welcome all visitors in the same manner... enthusiastically and as guests.
