Audit Program Planning
CASQ-it AUDIT offers flexible planning options for your audit program — whether department-specific, site-specific or company-wide. You can define custom audit types according to your requirements and terminology. Auditor management with audit type assignment ensures efficient deployment of your auditor team.
- System audits: CASQ-it AUDIT supports systematic resolution of nonconformities following external system audits. With deadline tracking and action plans, the integrated task management ensures nonconformities are addressed promptly and on schedule.
- Process audits: Standards-compliant checklists based on VDA 6.3 as well as your company-specific requirement lists guide auditors through the process audit — right through to the systematic resolution of nonconformities and the scheduling of follow-up audits to monitor success.
- Supplier audits: Whether online or offline, CASQ-it AUDIT offers maximum flexibility for auditing your suppliers on-site. Suppliers are directly integrated into the audit process: Nonconformities are shared with them at the push of a button. Using a standard format, suppliers can then provide root cause analyses, corrective actions and follow-up monitoring data.
- Product audits: CASQ-it AUDIT guides you systematically through the product audit — from recording measurement data to completing product and packaging requirement checklists, or combining both methods. This structured approach significantly reduces your workload. Improvement opportunities are captured and seamlessly integrated into your processes via the task management system.
- Layered process audits (LPA): Ongoing checklist updates, tight monitoring cycles and streamlined communication — CASQ-it AUDIT is specifically designed to meet the demands of LPA planning and execution. The high frequency of LPAs naturally results in a heavier planning workload. Here, CASQ-it AUDIT eases the burden with automated planning that schedules all LPA activities independently, based on your predefined parameters. The dedicated LPA interface is intuitive and easy to use — even for auditors without formal training — supporting auditing across all organizational levels. Results and corrective actions are immediately available as powerful analyses, ready for your LPA board.
Audit Execution
CASQ-it AUDIT stands for flexible audit execution. You always stay on top of audit progress and can easily access findings and improvement measures from previous audits. Additional requirements can be added effortlessly during the audit itself. Comments and attached documents provide the necessary audit evidence for each audit criterion.
Your professional audit management also supports you seamlessly during external audits: With the convenient export/import assistant, you can conduct audits without the need for a server connection. You can audit suppliers on-site directly within the system, or enter your notes after the audit is complete. Once back at your company, you can easily transfer updates and results from your laptop or tablet to the server.
CASQ-it AUDIT also streamlines supplier communication by allowing you to import and export findings and corrective actions via Excel files.
Action Tracking
To-do lists ensure clear organization and on-time completion of corrective actions, all the way through to proof of effectiveness, giving your employees full control over all corrective measures.
Action tracking and processing can either be handled directly within CASQ-it AUDIT or via the centralized task management module, CASQ-it TMS. In both cases, CASQ-it coordinates and monitors the reliable implementation of your corrective and preventive actions.
Success Monitoring
With powerful analysis tools, you can compare your audit results. Graphical and tabular evaluations of audits, findings and corrective actions provide a transparent status overview and highlight trends. You can report the implementation status of the audit program to management through the integrated management report.
Defect hotspot analyses
, evaluations by location, department, process and supplier, as well as action statistics and findings analyses, show the extent to which problems have been systematically resolved. With audit management, you monitor the quality of your processes — giving your customers the assurance that standards and their specific requirements are being fully met.
