What Audit Tool does Audit Tool automates and simplifies ITO's audit processes. Audit Tool automates the otherwise laborious clerical effort of tracking the nonconformances and providing management with reports.

Typically, the quality assurance team initiates audit process across the organization. After planning, the auditor conducts the audit and categories the findings as strengths, observations and nonconformances and submits the findings. Once the audit findings are submitted by the auditor, an SQA manager baselines them. Automated notification, mailing system and messaging features built into the audit tool make tracking non conformance (NC) to closure easier. With a host of flexible reporting features at his/her disposal, information is only a mouseclick away for the user.

In the Report and Analysis functionality Audit tool generates reports on ageing analysis, audit summary, NC status, Traceability and effort metrics as well as auditor history.

Pre audit activities Include audit planning that allows SQA manager to plan the audit for various projects and select audit team from an existing pool of auditors in the organization. Audit Tool allows the SQA manager to configure audit cycles as per organizational requirements (audit cycle is the calendar time needed to plan and execute audit). Setting an audit cycle is important to track qualitative improvement in a process over a period of time or from one audit cycle to the next. Other features of this functionality include audit calendar for SQA manager, auditor and auditee. Audit plans and their status are displayed in the audit calendar.

ToolAdministration Is basically managing users, groups/sub groups, and mail and value configuration and organization and terminology configuration.

Features in detail Audit findings entry and tracking Audit Tool provides a userfriendly, intuitive user interface to enter audit findings and other related data and to generate relevant reports thereafter. The reports generated by the tool aids the management in evaluating the impact of NC and prioritization of resources. Once the auditor enters the audit findings the mailing feature of Audit Tool sends a notification to the SQA manager and project leader.

Administrative features Administrative features allow configuration of organization structure and project structure and so on. An administrator has the ability to add and delete users and projects. Auditor Pool This feature lists the pool of auditors in the organization and facilitates the SQA manager to add new auditors and their details modify existing details and deleteauditors. Reports All the audit findings are entered in to two reports: strengths, observations and areas for improvement, and nonconformance. Audit Tool helps track nonconformances, assign priorities, record their nature, notify the auditor of the nonconformance and generate reports. NC tracking involves corrective action, preventive action, closure and verification. Among the reports generated are reports on strengths, observations and areas for improvement and NCs. The purpose of a nonconformance report is to report, analyze, and correct nonconformances and collect information from which reports on the overall status of nonconformances can be made. Audit summary report displays summary of nonconformance report along with strengths, observations and areas for improvement. Project details, audit date, auditors, audit effort, audit close date, audit scope, strengths, areas for improvement and NC details such as number of NCs raised and description of each NC make up the summary report. Ageing Analysis reportprovides a base for comprehensive aging analysis of all nonconformances across projects. The report can be viewed at different levels. It provides details such as total number of NCs, number of closed NCs, open NCs, average delay for closed NCs, overdue NCs and overdue NCs within various ranges. Besides providing status of nonconformances i.e. open or closed, the Audit Status Report also provides the description of open and closed NCs. The reports can be viewed based on the entitlements and privileges.
