Quality Diagnostic — Audit Template

Use this structured audit to assess process health, defect drivers, controls, and improvement readiness. Complete fields to capture evidence, assign owners, and set dates for follow-up. For dates use YYYY-MM-DD. Where your environment allows, attach photos or links to evidence.

Name the process, department, line, shift, or area audited.
Paste a link to the process map or briefly describe the main steps.
List the main defect types (one per line) and brief examples.
Estimate how often each defect occurs and whether it's increasing, stable, or decreasing.
List inspection, test, or customer-detection points and who performs them.
What evidence supports likely root causes? Include measurements, logs, or links to reports.
Describe existing controls, their owners, and how effective they appear to be.
Identify prevention or detection fixes that are inexpensive and fast to implement.
Select the level of customer impact.
List actions using the format: Action — Owner — Due date (YYYY-MM-DD). Add one per line so they can be parsed later.
1 = Not ready, 5 = Ready to act
Choose priority level for follow-up actions.
Include links to records, photos, data extracts, or incident reports.
Use YYYY-MM-DD format.
