abstract
Ensuring consistent quality and compliance in modern manufacturing is crucial for maintaining industry standards and customer satisfaction. However, traditional audit methods suffer from inefficiencies due to random machine selection and imbalanced auditor workload. This project focuses on Product-Process Audit Planning using a Risk-Based Approach at ARaymond India Pvt Ltd to enhance audit effectiveness and mitigate quality risks. A structured risk-based audit selection model is introduced, which systematically identifies high-risk areas by implementing key risk assessment criteria such as PPM (Parts Per Million), Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Breakdown Occurrence, Internal Complaints, and Customer Complaints. The project aims to optimize resource allocation, ensuring audits focus on critical machines and processes while balancing auditor workload.
