Layered Process Auditing
Layered Process Auditing
Course Description
Layered Process Auditing, also known as LPA, is a formalized approach to auditing that focuses time and energy to ensure that high risk processes and error proofing devices are working properly and not exhibiting a great deal of variation. In an LPA system, a collection of audits is performed on a regular basis, at a predetermined frequency, by multiple layers of management from across the organization, and containment/correction activities are included as part of the process.
This course material will cover the requirements for Manufacturing Process Audits as required by IATF 16949:2016 and the AIAG Guidelines for Layered Process Audits (using CQI-8, January 2014). Theory is combined with interactive workshops and exercises to improve and practice the participants’ skills.
