Schedule or plan............??

Hello, welcome and Happy New Year 'JJ'.:bigwave:

Just so we can help you with a specific exampe, what kind of document are you researching? Would you like a plan for a particular audit, like for a whole system wide internal audit, over many days, or for a supplier audit which would cover the aspects of their system you'd be interested in, etc????

Or, are you looking for an example of how to put a calendar of (internal) audits (over a year) and what you're trying to schedule each month, for example......??

Before I can give you any help I'd like some clarification of what you're asking for:agree1:

Hi Andy

Many thanks for your reply. I am looking for examples of how to put together a calendar of internal audits over a year. To cover every work instruction and every process within the business. Our company has gone through a huge growth spurt and we are all still chasing our tails, but in the meantime the audit have not been completed and we have no schedule or goal etc for completing our audits in a systematic approach. I am also aware that alot of our W.I's are out of date, therefore there will also be a huge strain on my administrative assistant to process all changes. grrrrrrr

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's better................

and you've got a number of clues in there. Firstly, I'd audit the 'growth spurt' areas, whether that's new products, new customers, new processes and/or people. The 'new' is the riskiest part to the business, customers and management are likely to see it that way - if they have any sense of self preservation. Make the 'new' your priority, which, incidently can be sub-prioritized too. Then, go after the aspects of the operation which are affecting customers and/or internal costs. If you use my 'football' as the audit path - I'll be pleased to explain it further as to deploying this approach - you will sweep up a lot of the issues you are concerned about, e.g. documentation, but it won't be the primary focus of the audit.

O.K, any further help I can give?

Hi Andy
You have been extremely helpful. We have many new people, because of customer demand training has not been satisfactory implemented, we struggle with people following procedures, we have new machines (rinser, multipacker, myer filler, co-brix etc etc) not all WI's have been written for these machines and we struggle with who is responsible for doing this task. We have just introduced to the business external manufacturing in other countries because we can't keep up the demand in our factory and we are struggling with who again is responsible for what. We basically need to have a complete overhall of our current processes to ensure that we have captured everything in order to update our HACCP tables to ensure that we are in control! Many many issues here aren't there. We also have another 80+ new products..................

What is your football approach?

Cheers

JJ

Wow........

it seems to me that you've got more on your plate than an audit schedule can help with. I'd suggest that your management team need to be rallied to see how they can get back in control of the growth in a planned, systematic manner. Since training etc has not been effectively implemented, then it appears that one process (the demand for people to support new products) isn't linked to the hiring/training processes, or something similar. Actually, my feelings are that your management review is less than effective as a way to look at what's coming down the road and prepare the quality system to control it. Furthermore, a combination of a lack of process ownership, process interaction and quality planning should be closely re-worked, because they don't look like they're working to me:jawdrop:


Is there someway you can quantify the risk (potential or realized) to the business in terms of internal costs or external customer satisfaction. You could be protecting the customer from problems, but 'killing ourselves' internally, with high scrap, rework, reprocessing etc.:(

'JJ' - I'd recommend focusing less on an audit schedule (which is important to you and should be given some effort, we'll help here) and more on getting to what's keeping your management team from sleeping well. If at all possible see if they can collectively diagnose, without finger pointing, which processes are not supporting the overall goal of (controlled) growth. If they can see for themselves, your job could then to be orchestrating actions and then, follow on with an audit to check on the health of the revised process

Let me know what else we can do for you 'JJ'.:agree1:
