Audit module features

Quality Workbench Professional's Audits module helps organizations:

• Prepare for both internal and external audits
  Run external audits as efficiently as internal ones; you can customize each audit to record external assessors if appropriate.
• Minimize overhead costs and save time on repetitive tasks
  Custom templates allow you to store information that can be used as a basis for many different audits. Create a checklist that ensures nothing is overlooked, even if there is a new auditor.
• Adjust the audit for unforeseen circumstances
  Audits based on templates can be edited to accommodate changes. Approved personnel can modify the checklist even while the audit is running.
• Keep personnel informed about pending audits and audit results
  A complete calendar shows all planned, running, or completed audits, and the messaging system allows you to alert correct personnel.
• Maintain a secure audit trail
  Closed audits may be viewed by authorized users but cannot be edited.
• Record discrepancies and assign corrective actions as needed
  With the Nonconformities module, a direct link allows you to report problems as they arise during an audit, so corrective actions can be taken right away.
• Customize audit results to fit the organization's jargon
  Use a pass or fail rating, a numeric score, or a user-defined result description.
