PS-015 Theme: Digitalization & Workflow Automation

Digital Product Audit and Revalidation Audit Management Dashboard

Problem Overview

Product Audit and Revalidation Audit activities are currently planned, executed, reported and closed through manual records. Audit schedules, reports, Non-Conformance (NC) details, action plans, supporting evidence and closure approvals are maintained separately, increasing administrative effort and making it difficult to obtain real-time visibility of audit status and overdue actions. The challenge is to develop a centralized digital audit management dashboard covering the complete workflow from monthly planning and daily auditor scheduling through digital reporting, NC action assignment, evidence verification, closure and final approval by the Auditing Head.

Industrial Context & Background

Quality Management / Audit Digitalization / Workflow Automation

Technical Requirements

1) Monthly audit-plan upload and daily auditor schedule
2) Digital audit checklist/report submission
3) Automatic NC assignment to concerned auditee
4) Action plan, owner and target-date tracking
5) Evidence attachment and auditor verification
6) Auditing Head final approval workflow
7) Automated reminders/escalation for overdue actions
8) Searchable audit history and dashboard/report export

Suggested Technology Stack: Web/Mobile Application; Workflow Engine; Database; Notification System; Document/Evidence Management; Analytics Dashboard

Expected Solution & Prototype

1) 100% of planned Product and Revalidation Audits digitally scheduled and status-tracked
2) Plan-vs-completed audit percentage automatically calculated
3) Open, overdue and closed NC quantities automatically displayed
4) On-time NC closure percentage automatically calculated
5) Average NC closure lead time and ageing automatically measured
6) Auditor/auditee action status and pending approvals visible in real time
7) Reduction in manual audit reporting and follow-up effort measurable against the current process
