The audit was information and verification of the current state for the client, which was our main goal. On the other hand, it was also an inspiration and a driving force for action for many people in the audited areas. Already during the audit, employees picked up on the idea of continuous improvement and began to implement simple solutions. The complete report delivered later became a manual for managers, so to speak. It set priorities for action, needed time and resources for implementation, and specified how to measure the effectiveness of implemented actions. Confirmation that we had done a good audit was our company's recommendation to another client.
