QUALITYWISE® AUDIT
We see what others miss...
And we tell you clearly what to do about it.
Why organizations need audits
Most companies don’t struggle because they lack audits.
They struggle because:
- processes run differently than described in procedures,
- teams interpret the same requirements in different ways,
- there are discrepancies between theory (procedures) and practice (production),
- unexpected complaints appear,
- nobody is fully confident how the organization will perform in a customer or certification audit.
Audits help bridge the gap between assumptions and reality — and clearly show what needs attention to achieve stability and predictable quality.

Let's start with a conversation
The best first step is a conversation.
We invite you to a free 30-minute consultation, during which we will review your situation, identify your main challenges, and present possible courses of action.
No strings attached. Full transparency. Concrete value from the very first meeting.
What is audit cooperation with QualityWise®?
1.
Full support from QualityWise®
From the very first contact, you have the full support of a QualityWise® consultant. We answer questions, advise on the scope, help prepare your team, and ensure the entire process runs smoothly and stress-free (before, during, and after).
2.
Defining the audit scope
During a short consultation, we define the audit objectives, areas to be assessed, client or standard requirements, and the expected outcome. This ensures the audit is precisely tailored to your organization’s needs.
3.
Preparing the audit plan
We develop a detailed plan: a schedule, a list of interviewees, required documents, areas to be observed, and assessment criteria. This ensures everyone knows what to expect and how to prepare.
4.
Conducting the audit
We conduct the audit on-site or online, in a professional, collaborative manner that does not disrupt production. We observe processes, analyze documentation, discuss with the team, and identify risks, gaps, and best practices.
5.
Preparing the audit report
Within a few days, we prepare a clear report that includes nonconformities, observations, recommended actions, and a compliance level assessment. You can use the report to communicate with the client, certification body, or management.
6.
Follow-up after closing nonconformities
After submitting the report, we remain available to you. We support you in root cause analysis, planning corrective actions, and verifying their effectiveness. We can also prepare your company for a repeat or client audit.
What our customers say about us
We cooperated with QualityWise in our internal system audit according to IATF 16949. The preparations of the audit were extremely well done and there was a very empathetic communication level. During the audit itself, there was demonstrated a very high level of knowledge of all the applicable requirements, as well as a very analytical and detailed observations of the system evaluated. The level of professionalism and at the same time the pedagogical approach demonstrated with each topic and with all our team members really shows the commitment to the project. We were able to improve our systems adequacy and it allowed us to have a better performance during our third party audit.
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Agata Lewkowska Ph.D. representing QualityWise Company who conducted an internal audit of the processes at Borg Warner Technical Center. The audit was carried out in accordance with the requirements of IATF 16949 (…). Agata Lewkowska Ph.D. diligently executed the expected audit plan and collected process samples during individual meetings with process owners. Throughout the audit she demonstrated a thorough and professional approach in both evaluation and advisory capacities. She showed an understanding of our company's operation and provided a clear and insightful explanation of the process owners' questions.
I am delighted to recommend QualityWise following the outstanding training delivered to the Exide team. Excellent preparation before the training was evident. The trainer took the time to understand our real cases and challenges, tailoring the program to address our specific obstacles. The training struck a perfect balance between formal instruction and practical exercises, allowing participants to apply concepts directly to our own cases. The results speak for themselves: following the training, our team has been able to produce higher-quality FMEAs more efficiently, significantly improving our processes and compliance with international standards.
I am particularly grateful for the excellent preparation and execution of two workshops for internal auditors. These events were not only well-structured but also provided practical insights and tools that significantly improved the competencies of our team. Working with QualityWise has been a great pleasure and the contributions have had a measurable positive impact on the development of our team. I wholeheartedly recommend Qualitywise services and expertise to any organization seeking top-tier training and consulting in quality management and auditing.
To get a new quality engineer on track, we have had the privilege of participating in an IATF 16949 training. After the training my new engineer was very happy with the skilled and flexible transfer of knowledge about the IATF 16949 standard. During the training there was enough room for discussion and time to link to all day challenges of an automotive multi-client supplier to the standard elements and additional Customer-Specific Requirements. Immediately after the training I experienced that my new engineer gained a lot of norm knowledge, which guided him to take the right decisions serving our customers and helping our suppliers where needed.
Qualitywise performed FMEA and APQP trainings for our team of 26 people and the training team was very diversified in terms of level of knowledge, culture and experience coming from different industries. In this demanding situation the trainer managed to exceed our expectations, providing very flexible and tailored for OCSiAl needs training. The practical experience by the trainer combined with very good knowledge of the processes gave us the opportunity to acquire skills which after the training were directly implemented in the OCSiAl processes. It is also important to notice that the whole training and Q&A sessions were very highly assessed internally.
