Abstract
Layered Process Audit plays very important role in the enhancement of operational performance of manufacturing industries. In today’s global competition age, firms try to improve the operational performance, so as to get low production cost and better product quality with reduced lead-time and flexibility. This way a manufacturing organization can generate more profit with improved operational performance. For better improvement in operational performance, four major dimensions; cost, product quality, lead-time, and flexibility must be in appropriate proportion. This proportion may be different for different products and different manufacturing organizations. To achieve this appropriate proportion, Layered Process Audit can be adopted by the organization. The present research has undertaken “Implementation of Layered Process Audit in Engine Component Manufacturing” for quality improvement of product. Layered Process Audit is quality improvement process which involves multiple layers of management for auditing as well as quality improvement.
