Laboratory Audits and Corrective Action Management Workshops

Laboratories performing analyses for forensic purposes are required to be able to demonstrate the quality of their work product. This is usually done through a process of inspection by an outside agency against a set of standards.

In all cases, preparation is a demanding and time-consuming task. FQS offers assistance through an on-site workshop designed to skill staff in laboratory auditing and corrective action management. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is involved?

The workshop teaches the basic principles of compliance auditing illustrated by reference to the standards.  Teams are coached through practical audits of selected areas of the laboratory.  The teams then prepare compliance reports and are led through the process of identifying the root cause of corrective action and managing the implementation of remediations.

Why do we recommend this approach?

The traditional approach of an outside team conducting an audit and presenting a report of non-conformances only identifies the gaps between actual and required performance.  It does nothing to help the laboratory understand the processes of self-assessment and improvement.
