Layered Process Audits

Process audits for proactive error prevention and quality assurance

Systematic review of compliance with standards and requirements

Early identification of inefficiencies and bottlenecks

Cost reduction and improvement of product quality through error prevention

Prevent errors instead of fixing errors

Layered Process Audits (LPAs) are indispensable as a widely adopted method for systematic process control in industrial enterprises. They serve not only for preventive error avoidance and quality assurance but also as valuable drivers for continuous improvement measures. In an increasingly dynamic production and logistics environment where adhering to high-quality standards and tight deadlines poses a significant challenge, it is essential to avoid costly error corrections and corrective actions. In practice, the focus is often placed on product quality, while regular and non-event-driven reviews of processes and standards are neglected. There is significant potential that can be harnessed through process audits. The audit function in Visual Shop Floor enables software-assisted execution of process audits. Thanks to a simple and intuitive user interface, specifically optimized for use on mobile devices, auditors are effectively supported in conducting audits efficiently. Checklists, commenting functionality and the ability to take photos facilitate seamless documentation. Audit templates are defined for various inspections that are precisely tailored to the processes and workflows of your company. Whether it's a safety audit, quality audit, or 5S audit, Visual Shop Floor enables efficient and comprehensive execution.
