Description

Layered Process Auditing (LPA) is a management tool designed to 1) verify that your key process steps are performed as intended, 2) emphasize the importance of those process steps, and 3) identify opportunities for improvement. It's the perfect compliment to existing six sigma or lean manufacturing initiatives, but also serves well as a stand alone tool for improving quality, reducing safety incidences, and lowering the total cost of manufacturing.

In the past decade, LPA's have become increasing popular across a wide range of industries, supply chains and business types because of its simplicity, yet effectiveness in narrowing process variation, improving vertical communication, and uncovering breakthrough ideas for cost reduction and quality improvement.
