Step 1 - Add management codes:

Management codes are the position for the auditor. For positions with multiple users, such as supervisor, you can also add the name of the person in the description to simplify assigning and reporting on the LPA Layered process audit, or LPA, is a quality technique that focuses on observing and validating how products are made, rather than inspecting finished products. LPAs are not confined to the Quality Department, but involve all employees in the auditing process. .
The Layer field is used in reporting to sort the management position and has no impact on the audit.

2. Select the Management Codes frame.

Step 2 - Add critical codes:

The critical codes are what is assigned to the layered process audit with each critical code having one or more management codes assigned, as seen in Step 3.

Step 3 - Add audit frequency per code:

The Management Frequency frame defines the number of production days (Frequency) between audits per management code. Each critical code can have multiple frequencies per management code. For example, the critical code Sup_25 and OM_100 is setup so that an LPA must be done every 25 production days by the supervisor and every 100 days by the operations manager.

1. On Layered Audit Codes [S1728], select the Management Frequency frame.

2. On the screen task bar, click Add.

   The Frequency is the number of production days between LPAs. However, this setting can be modified to a specified day of the week on Layered Audit Lists [S1729].
