Revolutionizing Audits and Problem Solving Using AI

Revolutionizing Audits and Problem Solving Using AI

Presented by Andrei Samoila, Global Director of Software Implementations, Omnex Systems

An Innovative Approach to Auditing and Problem Solving

In this insightful session, Andrei Samoila shared his expertise on how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping quality management. Drawing on his extensive experience across industries, he demonstrated how AI-powered tools can elevate audits and problem-solving processes, transforming them into strategic assets for organizations.

Session Highlights

• Smarter Audit Scheduling: Andrei explained how AI enhances audit planning, particularly for Layered Process Audits (LPA). By analyzing historical data, the system identifies high-risk areas, prioritizing them for review. Features such as AI-driven checklist recommendations and randomized audits ensure a comprehensive and efficient approach.
• Enhanced Audit Execution: During the audit phase, AI provides invaluable support. It highlights good and poor-performing processes, helping auditors focus on critical areas. Additionally, the system validates non-conformities against objective evidence, reducing errors and strengthening audit outcomes.
• Streamlined Problem Solving: The presentation delved into AI’s role in tools like 8D Reports and 5W2H, where Natural Language Processing (NLP) validates root cause descriptions and suggests corrective actions. Andrei highlighted how AI simplifies the process, making it faster and more effective, while tools like Pareto charts help identify critical concerns.
• Proactive Monitoring and Alerts: AI’s ability to monitor trends and issue automated alerts was another focus area. Whether tracking recurring non-conformities or flagging delayed problem resolutions, these features keep teams proactive and ensure timely actions.

The Benefits of AI in Quality Management

Throughout the session, Andrei emphasized the transformative potential of AI, highlighting several key advantages:

• Improved Risk Management: Early identification of problem areas.
• Efficiency Gains: Smarter scheduling and execution through AI insights.
• Cost Savings: Streamlined operations and reduced inefficiencies.

Steps to Get Started with AI

To help organizations begin their journey, Andrei outlined a practical roadmap:

• Educate teams on AI’s capabilities and limitations.
• Collaborate with experts to develop tailored solutions.
• Train AI systems using high-quality data.
• Launch and continuously optimize the system for evolving needs.
