Where paper and Excel programs stall
A packaging station is running today's job off an older work instruction revision. The LPA check asks whether the approved instruction is available. On paper, that miss lives in a pile. In a spreadsheet, ownership and closure get fuzzy by the next shift.
Prep eats the week
Building process-specific questions from generic templates takes time. Teams rewrite the same checks for each cell, then still argue about what "pass" means on the floor.
Findings leave the checklist
Evidence and follow-up often live in email or a separate tracker. By the time leadership asks who owns the miss, the trail is gone.
Tools for the daily audit routine
From reviewing questions to following up on findings, without inventing a second system for closures.
AI-assisted draft questions
Describe a process in plain language, get a starting draft, then have a knowledgeable user edit it before anyone runs the check.
Schedules by role and area
Make recurring LPA responsibilities visible by who owns the check and where it runs.
Phone and desktop execution
Pick up an assigned audit, record the answer, and add the context your team needs. Offline capability is available; confirm device scope during setup.
Evidence with the answer
Keep observations and supporting files with the audit record so follow-up is not a scavenger hunt.
Completion and failure views
Review what got done, what failed, and which checks keep coming back across the areas you configure.
Failed checks to owners
Route a miss to someone who can fix it, keep status visible, and record what changed before you close it.
How a plant usually starts
One process first. Prove the checklist, the schedule, and the closure loop before you expand.
Draft one process checklist
Start with a real station or cell. Review AI-assisted draft questions against your work instruction, then approve what the team will run.
Assign and run the checks
Operators, supervisors, and managers pick up assigned audits on a phone or desktop and record answers with evidence.
Close what failed
Failed items get an owner and a status. Use dashboard views to see overdue actions and recurring misses.
