Proactive Internal Auditing:
The Key to Improving Your Quality System
Audits are key drivers of improvement and plant profitability because they proactively identify opportunities for process improvements against customer requirements, standards, specifications, and schemes. Quite often, internal audits occur just before certification or recertification audits by third-party auditors, so the stakes for training and execution are high.
Proactive internal audit findings are shared with top management and include a deep analysis— critical to the strategic planning process. However, auditing against a standard like ISO 9001 or one of the GFSI schemes is rarely effective without the proper training, guidance, and tools.
