Implementation of Audit
Manufacturing Audit is one of the most important parts of the manufacturer as an efficient audit reduces the cost. The primary purpose of a Manufacturing Audit is to identify the capability of the manufacturing system deployed at the customer end because of any inherent inefficiency in the development of a good Quality Management System, Lean Manufacturing, TPM, and other manufacturing systems.
Through these manufacturing audits, we try to identify wastes and losses related to Lean, TPM, and other manufacturing execution systems deployed at the customer end.
Based on our manufacturing audit and finding we suggest and implement a system along with customers to minimize waste and losses to zero.
