AUDITING & PRE-ASSESSMENTS

Find the Gaps Before They Become Findings.

An audit shouldn’t be the first time you discover there’s a problem.

InnerLAB provides independent audits and pre assessments to help organizations understand where their quality and NDT systems stand before the official audit begins.

We take a practical look at your processes, documentation, personnel, and implementation to identify areas that may need attention, while your team still has time to address them.

A finding is rarely one document. It is a relationship between documents. Pull a thread and see what it is attached to.

QUALITY AUDITS

Know Where You Stand Before the Auditor Arrives.

When you work with the same system every day, it’s easy to become familiar with the way things have always been done. An independent review brings a different perspective.

InnerLAB looks at how your quality system is documented, how it is being implemented, and whether the two actually match.

PRE-ASSESSMENT

AS9100 Pre-Assessment Audits

Preparing for an AS9100 audit can involve a lot of moving pieces.

InnerLAB provides pre assessment audits to help your organization identify potential gaps before the certification or surveillance audit takes place. We look beyond whether the required documents exist and consider how the system is actually being followed throughout the organization.

The result is a clearer picture of where you’re ready and where additional attention may be needed.

PRE-ASSESSMENT

Nadcap Pre-Assessment Audits

A Nadcap audit can go deep into the details of a special process.

InnerLAB helps organizations prepare by reviewing the areas an audit may expose, including documentation, process controls, personnel, records, and the connection between customer requirements and the work being performed.

Finding an issue during a pre assessment gives your team an opportunity to understand it and address it before the official audit.

SYSTEM AUDIT

Quality System Audits

A procedure can say one thing while the actual process slowly becomes something different.

InnerLAB reviews both sides. We look at your documented quality system and how those requirements are being carried out in practice.

This helps identify gaps that may be difficult to see from inside the organization.

NDT / NDE AUDITING & EVALUATION

A Strong NDT System Is More Than a Good Procedure.

An NDT procedure may be technically correct, but that doesn’t automatically mean the entire system is working as intended.

Personnel need to be properly qualified. Equipment needs to be controlled. Records need to support the work. Customer requirements need to flow through the process. And what happens on the floor needs to match what the documentation says should happen.

InnerLAB looks at how those pieces work together.

NDT / NDE

NDT / NDE Pre-Assessment Audits

Before a customer, accreditation, or other external audit, InnerLAB can perform an independent review of your NDT operation. We look for potential concerns, inconsistencies, and gaps that could become questions or findings during the actual audit.

The purpose isn’t to predict every question an auditor will ask. It’s to make sure your system is ready to answer them.

NDT / NDE

NDT / NDE System Audits

InnerLAB evaluates the NDT system as a whole. Depending on the scope of the audit, the review may include procedures, personnel qualification, equipment, process controls, documentation, records, and the way applicable requirements are being implemented.

The goal is to understand whether the pieces of the system support one another, and identify where they may not.

THE DETAILS MATTER

Sometimes the Problem Is Between the Requirements.

The biggest audit concerns aren’t always obvious.

  • A customer requirement may not have flowed down correctly.
  • A procedure may reference an outdated revision.
  • A record may be complete but not tell the whole story.
  • Or the work being performed may have slowly moved away from the documented process.

These are the kinds of details that can be difficult to recognize when your team works with the same system every day. An experienced outside perspective can help bring them into focus.

OUR APPROACH

We’re Not There Just to Fill Out a Checklist.

A useful audit should tell you more than whether something passed or failed.

InnerLAB focuses on understanding how your system actually works, following requirements through the process, asking questions when something doesn’t line up, and giving your team a clearer understanding of what needs attention.

The objective is not to make your organization look audit ready for a day. It’s to help make sure the system is actually ready.

PREPARING FOR AN AUDIT?

Find It Before They Do.

The best time to find a gap is while you still have time to do something about it. Let InnerLAB take an experienced, independent look at your operation before your next audit.
