Operators
Operators know what is checked in their area and why. Some carry out short audits themselves, which makes the standard their own.

Audits that show where you stand every week, not once a year
Audits should tell you where the standard holds and where it slips. In many plants, they mostly create work: rounds that are planned but not done, findings that stay in a report, and weeks of searching for proof before an external audit.
In the EZ-GO platform, audits are part of the daily work at the line. Every area is scored the same way, results are visible right away, and the record of what was done is already there when an auditor asks for it.

Why audits create work instead of insight
Internal audits are planned for every month, but when production is busy, they move to next month. The auditor walks with his own questions, writes the findings down, and types them into a spreadsheet later. Two auditors in the same area come back with different results, so you cannot compare areas or months.
Before a certification or customer audit, the QA team spends weeks collecting proof from different places. Everyone knows the standard was followed. Showing it is the hard part.
Every auditor checks something different
In the EZ-GO platform, you set the standard for an area and build the audit that checks it. Every auditor uses the same audit, so the result no longer depends on who walked. Each audit point gets a score from 1 to 5, and you can let the points that matter most count more heavily. Every audit gives a total score, so you can compare areas with each other, and this month with last month. You can change the scoring method to fit your audit.
Audits are used by production, QESH, HR, and maintenance alike, for example for safety rounds, hygiene rounds, 5S audits, or process audits.
Internal audits happen when someone has time
You plan every audit in advance, with the time it must be done and the person who does it. A planned audit shows up in the EZ-GO app at the right time, and a missed audit is visible when it is linked to a task. Audits do not have to be done by QA alone. Operators and team leaders can carry out short audits in their own area, because they see every day where the standard slips. Read how to train operators to carry out internal audits.
Layered process audits: the standard at every level
In a layered process audit, the same process is checked by several layers of the organization at different frequencies: the team leader every shift, the department manager every week, and the plant manager every month. In the EZ-GO platform, you plan the same audit for each layer with its own frequency, so every layer sees the same standard and the results can be compared.
Findings stay in the report
Findings are recorded in the audit itself, per audit point, so they are not lost in an email or a notebook. Because every audit uses the same points, the results over time show patterns: which area slips, which point keeps scoring low. For each finding, the auditor decides whether to record it as a comment or turn it into an action. A low score does not create an action automatically. The people involved in an action get an email. How actions lead to a better standard is on the Continuous improvement page.
Preparing for an external audit takes weeks
Certification and customer audits, such as ISO 9001, BRCGS, IFS, or FSSC 22000, ask for proof that procedures are followed. In the EZ-GO platform, every audit, checklist, and task is recorded with date, time, the person who did it, and a photo. You filter the records instead of collecting them. The EZ-GO platform does not certify you, but it makes it easier to show what your team does every day. Read more about what to expect from an ISO audit.
