Then, were applicable using the Culture-in-Action tool we analyse the culture of the company within which the product(s) was developed or manufactured. Traditional auditing can find evidence of risk assessments (FMEA) or design documentation - but can't really determine if the content is robust and has creditability.  Most auditors don't have sufficiently deep engineering knowledge nor the time within an audit to dive deep enough to determine diligence, robustness or rigour.  So, if engineers were culturally encouraged to cut-corners, hide risks or whistle blowers encouraged to stay quiet, would traditional auditing find out? We analyse your suppliers culture to see if it really supports the transparency, innovation and employee empowerment required to produce reliable and manufacturable products.  Click here to see examples of real world recalls that occur when company culture supports product failure.
