key benefits
Go from reactive firefighting to proactive improvement
Better checklists are only the start. Audit management changes how your plant handles compliance and follow-up.
Drive real improvement
Every non-conformance becomes a tracked action with an owner, so problems get fixed.
Increase accountability and visibility
See your whole audit program live: who completes their checks on time and who doesn't.
Audit lifecycle
Audit management in four steps: Plan, Do, Check, Act
From building the checklist to closing its actions.
Step 1: Plan
Build and schedule any audit
Build the checklist in Lean Creator, or let the AI draft it. Schedule it in Daily Standard Work to a person, a role or a machine, with a repeat rule.
Step 2: Do
Conduct audits on the floor
Auditors see checks on a calendar or Kanban board and complete them on a phone or tablet, with photo evidence where required.
Step 3: Check
Visualize your findings
Each report shows its score and pass or fail, and a live dashboard shows completion across the plant.
Step 4: Act
From finding to action in one click
Every non-conformance can start a fix. A rule on the answer can do it automatically, or you can do it in one click:
Launch a formal Kaizen project
Create an issue tag for the maintenance or support team
Assign a corrective action plan
