Participants will learn the how to develop and implement an LPA program. The purpose of performing layered audits is to a) verify compliance to the documented manufacturing/assembly process to assure the production system is working optimally, b) involve various levels of management in the audit process, c) remove roadblocks to correcting potential issues which are identified by the audit and d) lead to standardized work practices.
