Digitization of layered process audits
SCIIL eLPA is an LPA Software (Layered Process Audit Software) designed for manufacturing companies to automate audit planning, support mobile audit execution and provide real-time transparency across production processes.
The solution helps quality and production managers standardize Layered Process Audits (LPA) across individual production lines, multiple plants or global manufacturing locations while tracking findings and corrective actions in real time.
The integrated LPA App allows audits to be performed directly on the shopfloor using smartphones, tablets or PCs – online or offline.
Automated audit scheduling, notifications, integrated findings management and real-time dashboards reduce administrative effort and improve transparency across the complete audit process.
- Automated audit scheduling with MS Outlook invitations
- Mobile Audit App for smartphones, tablets and PCs
- Findings and corrective action management
- Real-time dashboards and KPI reporting
- Multi-plant support for global operations
- Online and offline capability
Why manufacturers use SCIIL eLPA as their LPA Software
Many companies still perform Layered Process Audits using paper forms, spreadsheets or isolated systems. This often results in high administrative effort, limited visibility and inconsistent audit standards across production lines and plants.
SCIIL eLPA helps organizations standardize audit processes from individual production lines up to global multi-plant structures while reducing manual work and improving transparency.
The LPA Software transforms audits from a documentation requirement into an active quality and production management tool.
✓ Standardized audit processes across multiple plants
✓ Reduced manual planning effort
✓ Full visibility of findings and actions
✓ Faster response to quality deviations
✓ Real-time KPI monitoring across locations
Main Features of SCIIL eLPA Software
Automated Audit Scheduling and Outlook Integration
The LPA Software automatically schedules audits for the first three audit layers based on predefined rules, frequencies and calendar settings.
Auditors receive automatic MS Outlook invitations and reminders for upcoming or overdue audits, significantly reducing manual planning activities.
The integrated Schedule Viewer provides a real-time overview of all scheduled and completed audits and visualizes audit status such as:
✓ completed / no findings
✓ completed / findings detected
✓ overdue audits
✓ audits with open actions
✓ audits with overdue actions
This allows quality and production managers to quickly identify critical issues and required actions across production lines and plants.
Mobile Audit App
The integrated LPA App allows audits to be performed directly on the shopfloor using smartphones, tablets or PCs. The solution supports online and offline operation and is suitable for production environments with limited network availability.
Auditors can access work instructions and audit guidance directly within the audit screen, including reference images, attached documents and additional instructions.
Audit results can be documented immediately using OK/NOK evaluations, comments and images captured directly with the mobile device.
✓ Reference images and attached documents
✓ Direct OK/NOK evaluation
✓ Findings with comments and images
✓ Documentation directly on mobile devices
✓ Online and offline capability
Findings and Corrective Action Management
Detected deviations can be captured immediately during or after audit execution and automatically assigned to responsible persons.
Depending on severity and defined rules, issues can be managed through 4D or 8D workflows for the structured root cause analysis and corrective action management.
Automatic rule-based escalation ensures that critical issues remain visible and manageable.
✓ Automatic assignment to responsible persons
✓ Rule-based escalation
✓ Root cause analysis and action tracking
✓ Due date and status visualization
✓ Reporting and Lessons Learned analysis
Real-Time Dashboards and KPI Reporting
SCIIL eLPA provides audit data and KPIs in real time and offers complete visibility across production lines, plants and global operations.
Available dashboards and analytics include:
✓ Pareto and trend analysis of findings
✓ Corrective action statistics
✓ Planned vs. completed audits
✓ Real-time status of LPA stations
✓ Cross-plant trends and analysis
SCIIL eLPA also provides interfaces to Microsoft Power BI, enabling custom dashboards and advanced reporting based on company-specific requirements.
