When to use it
- When it is due on your audit programme, or after a change or a problem.
- An auditor or leader answers each question from what they see, hear and read in the area.
- Each record starts with: Line, Changeover from and to.
How it is scored
The template is built with points per answer and a pass mark of 80. In this library every audit is set to pass at 80 and every inspection at 90. Each submitted audit shows its score and pass or fail, and every No is flagged with its photo and comment.
Change the points or the pass mark after you clone it. How rules and scoring work.
