Software for managing LPA (Layered Process Audits) provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process of preparation, audit program creation, audit execution and evaluation, corrective action management, including summary analyses.
A mobile application is also available for recording assessments during the audit. Thanks to the possible customization of the application for each user and simple data entry during the audit evaluation, it is possible to achieve efficiency at all levels of the process audit.
The main functions of this module are:
- Code lists, Preparation for LPA audits
- Creation of audit program
- Audit evaluation - possible use of the mobile application
- Definition / Control of corrective actions
- Analysis
Preparation for LPA audits
As part of the preparation, the system will guide you step by step through all the steps so that the subsequent creation of the audit program is quick and easy. Preparation includes the definition of LPA audit levels and questions (checklists), which can be divided into groups for the purposes of further analysis. The LPA areas in which the inspection will take place are also defined. Specific checklists are assigned to these LPA areas and are then assigned to individual auditors. At the end of this step, the LPA areas for each auditor are clearly defined, including the frequency of audits, the scope of audited areas within one audit and the necessary checklists.
Creating an audit program
Following the preparation step, a layered audit program can be created with one click, with all the necessary details, for the selected time interval and audit repetition periods.
Audit evaluation
The most effective option for evaluating a specific audit is to use the mobile application, where all evaluations within the checklist are automatically transferred to the main application. The evaluation of the selected audit can also be performed on a printed checklist and then the data can be entered into the main application.
Corrective action management
If a non-conformity is found in the selected audit that needs to be addressed in the form of a follow-up corrective action, a list of corrective actions (CO) can be defined for each detected non-conformity within the "LPA Audits" module. Each NO card contains data for defining the person responsible for the NO implementation, the progress of implementation, deadlines, statements on the effectiveness and efficiency of the given measure, etc. In addition, functions are available for quickly generating an e-mail message (notification) to the responsible person / client.
Analyses
Within the "LPA Audits" module, comprehensive analyses are available regarding the progress of key audit indicators. Analyses of non-conformities found during audits are also available.
A mobile application for conducting audits is also available - More information HERE
