System audit

A system audit is used to review and evaluate an entire management system. The aim is to ensure that the management system meets the requirements of relevant standards (e.g. DIN EN ISO 9001) and functions effectively. System audits help to confirm and continuously improve the standard conformity and performance of the management system.

Implementation

A system audit is usually carried out by internal or external auditors. Auditors use documentation, interviews and observations to check whether the management system is being implemented and operated properly. Important elements of a system audit include a review of the QM manual, an evaluation of the process landscape and an analysis of internal and external communication.

Application

System audits are particularly relevant when introducing new management systems, making significant changes to existing systems or as part of recertification. Regular system audits allow companies to ensure that their management systems meet current requirements and are continuously improved.

Advantages

• Ensuring compliance with standards: System audits help to ensure compliance with quality standards and legal requirements.
• Improvement of processes: By identifying weak points, targeted optimization measures can be taken.
• Increasing transparency: The audit promotes the transparency and traceability of company processes.
