When to use it

  • When it is due on your audit programme, or after a change or a problem.
  • The person responsible for the area or equipment answers each question on the spot.
  • Each record starts with: Supplier, Lot number, PO number.

How it is scored

The template is built with points per answer and a pass mark of 90. In this library every audit is set to pass at 80 and every inspection at 90. Each submitted inspection 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.
