To ensure maximum efficiency in prioritizing quality audit tasks, I rely on a risk-based approach. Based on my two decades of experience in QMS, I focus first on high-impact areas identified through past audits and customer feedback. I then allocate resources accordingly, tackling critical processes early to prevent compliance issues and deliver consistent quality outcomes efficiently.

Quality Audit tasks are particularly valuable for organizations that focus solely on passing audits rather than pursuing continuous improvement and excellence. Audit planning is generally event management unless you are an Auditor (For them Audit planning is seperate and typically a structured approach).

A Qualidade assim como Seguran?a deve ser parte do “DNA” da Empresa, na minha vis?o este é o primeiro passo para obter o máximo de eficiência. O caminho é obter o total comprometimento e envolvimento de todo o time “de cima para baixo”. Processos bem elaborados, ferramentas corretas, matriz de qualifica??o e versatilidade s?o muito importante, porém a comunica??o com todo o time sobre o valor de qualidade e seguran?a tem que ser prioridade, principalmente entre os Gestores. As Auditorias devem servir para validar e certificar se tudo está sendo executado como planejado e ainda demonstrar as oportunidades de melhoria, que com certeza sempre teremos.
