Layered Process Audit Software
Layered Process Audit
Layered Process Audit (LPA) is a type of process audit with varied frequency that is carried out at many levels of the organization, from process engineer to plant director. Due to their high effectiveness, LPA audits have become a commonly used standard.
The main assumption of layered audits is that each employee, regardless of their position, can, and even should, be included in the auditing process. Contrary to the standard approach where all audits are entrusted to one or more defined groups of auditors.
A good practice when creating a schedule of layered audits is to set it in such a way that the scope of the audited issues increases with each layer, and the frequency of audits decreases.
