I would like to query what type of audit would be best suited in the situation where one of our suppliers is moving to a new location, which means moving the molding tools over to the new site. What type of audit would be best advisable in this situation? Thank you for your time.

I will answer your question according to the automotive management system IATF 16949: 2016 standard.
When a factory changes location, the product and manufacturing process must be validated again. This is done in 2 ways.
First of all, the supplier presents you with the PPAP file according to the new location. After the PPAP file has been approved by you, the customer (you) must carry out a full process inspection at the new factory. Applications to be made after such changes are also given in AIAG's PPAP rev 4 books.
PPAP approval of the new factory product and production process must be given to your supplier as a documented information and signed of part submission letter (PSW).
