On-site audit: pinpointing your needs
Step 2 / 4 — Our method
A site visit and qualifying audit over 2 to 3 weeks, to establish a factual diagnosis of your current situation.
Objective
A factual diagnosis before any proposal
No commercial proposal is made without a prior audit. This step gathers real data about your situation rather than relying on assumptions.
What this means in practice
- Visit of your facilities and observation of flows and processes
- Interviews with the operational teams concerned
- Collection of factual data: current KPIs, volumes, constraints
- Gap analysis against industrial standards
Why it matters to you
- Duration / format: 2 to 3 weeks depending on the scope of the audit.
- What you get: A factual, documented diagnosis of your current situation, the basis for the proposal that follows.
Preparing the visit
What makes the audit easier
The more information we have beforehand, the faster and more precise the audit. It helps to arrange:
- A named contact and access to the sites concerned
- Your current indicators (volumes, defect rates, lead times, stock) if they exist
- The availability of operational teams for interviews
- Your existing quality procedures and documents
