“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Standardization is a must in today’s automotive industry and LPA audit is a tool (or rather a part of company culture) that can help us check the standard keeping in an efficient way. The selection of processes to audit depends on the risk evaluation, process variation, cost, capacity or company strategy. Employees on all levels are involved in the process and unveiled non-conformities form the basics for further improvement.
