Implementing a layered process audit (LPA) program is supposed to come with benefits beyond just complying with customer requirements. But far too often, these high-frequency audits are managed with spreadsheets and paper checklists, making it nearly impossible to achieve the cost reductions and cultural improvements a successful LPA program should deliver.
What’s getting in the way? A tried-and-true root cause analysis tool may hold the answers.
In this webinar, experts from The Luminous Group joined Ease Inc. to conduct a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) of LPA programs. By explaining the common failure points in LPA programs and their overall impact, our panel will help you understand how to get the most out of your process audits.

Six months after implementation, the organization has increased audit completion rates more than 40% and created more accountability around corrective actions. The company had conducted paper-based layered process audits (LPAs) for many years. In 2012, they launched a visual management process called Kamishibai—Japanese for “paper drama”—to structure audits using cards randomly selected from two decks.

Jacobs Vehicle Systems is a leading manufacturer of advanced engine braking systems and valve activation technologies, with manufacturing locations in North America, Europe and Asia.
The team would choose a card from the first deck to determine the audit location. The card selected from the second deck indicated the process to audit, showing acceptable results on one side (colored green) and non-compliant results on the opposite side (colored red). Auditors would post results on a dry erase board, then log them in spreadsheets.
