Audit Defense Pack Starter

The library files to send for an Aegis Audit Defense Pack: the 23 a pack is built from, then the other nine. Each already holds your records in the pack's format, so nothing is retyped.

The problem it solves

An audit defense pack is built from a plant's own quality records: the CAPA log, the NCR log, the calibration list and twenty more. Gathering them is usually the slowest part, because every plant keeps them differently and each export has to be cleaned up and retyped. If you already use the free Aegis Quality Resource Library, that work is done: each library workbook that holds a pack's records has a Pack tab that repeats your register in the exact format the pack reads, and fills itself in as you work. This page lists which files to send.

Who uses it

Quality managers and directors preparing for a registrar, customer or Nadcap audit who want an Aegis Audit Defense Pack; consultants gathering a client's records.

When

When you ask Aegis for a pack, and before each quarterly pack if you have one every quarter.

Free to use, change and copy, in your own organization or with your clients; add your own logo, keep the Aegis credit. Part of: Internal Audit Execution Kit. Clause references: 4 to 10 (numbers only; use your own licensed copy of the standard).

Aegis Insights inside. Wherever this resource gives our own guidance, it is labeled Aegis Insights, so you always know what is our experience and what a standard or your customer requires.

A management aid, not certification or a registrar audit. Using it does not by itself show conformity to AS9100D or any other standard.
