Next Time | Types of Planning

Businesses can identify and rectify deficiencies more effectively through standardised audit planning, rule-based approaches, and adaptive planning based on previous results. This ultimately leads to an improvement in product quality and customer satisfaction.

Standardised Audit Planning for Efficiency and Consistency

While tools such as Excel offer flexibility for audit planning, they require manual data entry and often a manual planning process. This can be time-consuming and prone to errors. An alternative is using standardised audit planning for various departments or areas. This approach ensures consistent audits and guarantees all relevant aspects are considered.


Standardised, rule-based, and adaptive audit planning enhances efficiency and consistency, identifying defects to boost quality, safety, and compliance.


Rule-Based Audit Planning

Automating the planning process can be achieved by formulating the planning logic as a rule. This allows for automated control of audit execution, ensuring they are conducted at specific intervals. Not only does this save time but it also increases the assurance that audits are carried out according to the set timeframes and professional standards. For instance, a food service chain might mandate that audits of their retail outlets occur at intervals not exceeding 30 days. A traffic light system indicates to the auditor the latest time by which the next audit should be conducted. A display changes from green to yellow and finally to red, highlighting the urgency for action.

Adaptive Audit Planning Based on Previous Results

Planning audits based on the outcomes of previous checks allows for dynamic and situation-appropriate adjustments. A supermarket chain, for example, might use this method by conducting more frequent audits in branches where previous flaws were identified. This ensures that known issues are monitored more closely and resolved quicker, leading to continuous improvement of standards across all branches.

The implementation of effective audit planning in companies, whether through standardisation, rule-based approaches, or adaptive planning, significantly contributes to quality assurance and ongoing improvement. Through these strategic approaches, businesses can ensure their audits are targeted, efficient, and effective, thus achieving the desired standards in quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.
