EMS Audits

Targets are benchmarks that help us check effectiveness. When targets are defined, they represent the best of our knowledge. We believe that meeting those targets is the best for the organization.

When the due time arrives, we can compare actual performance with the desired performance. In this case the target was 3 audits, but only 1 audit was performed.

Why the difference?

• Lack of resources?
• Lack of commitment?
• Bad target?
• Bad control?

Was that audit enough? Were all areas of the environmental management system audited?

Should your organization improve target definition for the future? Or should your organization improve resources, commitment and control about audits?

Whatever the reason, acting this way your organization will be learning.
