Manufacturing Audit App turns manufacturing audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each asset against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare manufacturing audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Manufacturing Audit App runs a scored manufacturing audit covering machine guarding, interlocks, and emergency stops, in-process quality checks and calibration currency, lock-out tag-out for maintenance, housekeeping, spill control, and material segregation, and PPE and manual-handling controls, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, manufacturing findings live on paper and in chat. A manufacturing fault such as missing guards or bypassed interlocks slips through. An audit then means rebuilding manufacturing evidence from folders.
Manufacturing Audit App keeps one record per manufacturing and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each manufacturing finding is tracked to verified closure. Production and quality managers see manufacturing completion and overdue actions across the manufacturing portfolio. Every manufacturing record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Manufacturing Audit App?
A comprehensive manufacturing audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Run manufacturing audits with standardized controls, evidence capture, and closure accountability. Your audit should include sections for machine guarding, interlocks, and emergency stops; in-process quality checks and calibration currency; and lock-out tag-out for maintenance, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Manufacturing Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a manufacturing audit:
Open the manufacturing audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each asset against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall manufacturing score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed manufacturing criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the manufacturing audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Manufacturing Audit Cover?
A manufacturing audit scores condition against ISO 9001 and GMP and machinery safety rules, checking machine guarding, interlocks, and emergency stops, in-process quality checks and calibration currency, lock-out tag-out for maintenance, housekeeping, spill control, and material segregation, and PPE and manual-handling controls. Each manufacturing finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the manufacturing audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Manufacturing Audit App Scores a Manufacturing Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the manufacturing audit template.
Step 2

What Manufacturing Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Manufacturing work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Manufacturing Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
You find out about a manufacturing problem from a complaint
There is no live view of manufacturing status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the asset is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of manufacturing status across sites
Manufacturing problems surface as complaints, not as data
Manufacturing risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of manufacturing completion and open issues
Manufacturing risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter manufacturing results by site and date
Every auditor scores the manufacturing audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The manufacturing audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Manufacturing scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Asset sections get skipped with no record
Manufacturing scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted manufacturing criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory asset sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable manufacturing scores that roll up across the estate
Assigned contractor signs off the asset fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the asset is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the asset defect is marked closed. Whether the asset work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor asset fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which manufacturing partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any manufacturing action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened asset actions linked back to the original finding
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Manufacturing Audit App check on a manufacturing audit?
Manufacturing Audit App runs a scored manufacturing audit against ISO 9001 and GMP and machinery safety rules, checking machine guarding, interlocks, and emergency stops, in-process quality checks and calibration currency, lock-out tag-out for maintenance, housekeeping, spill control, and material segregation, and PPE and manual-handling controls. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for production and quality managers rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which manufacturing defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the manufacturing failures that matter most: missing guards or bypassed interlocks, out-of-spec output and calibration drift, maintenance without isolation, and uncontained spills and poor housekeeping. Left unchecked, a fault such as missing guards or bypassed interlocks can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so production and quality managers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Manufacturing Audit App support for manufacturing work?
Manufacturing Audit App keeps manufacturing checks aligned to ISO 9001 and GMP and machinery safety rules. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, production and quality managers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run manufacturing checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Manufacturing Audit App is offline-first: teams complete manufacturing checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So production and quality managers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a manufacturing audit was completed?
Every completed manufacturing audit carries guard and interlock photo, calibration certificate photo, and line condition photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, production and quality managers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
