Tom has been auditing manufacturing facilities within his organization for ten years. He has seen a significant improvement in the performance of the organization due to the effort that has been placed into correcting audit deficiencies and implementing best practices that have been identified among all of the facilities. Auditing comprises approximately 90% of Tom’s job. Due to the improvement he has seen, Tom believes that auditing every facility on an annual basis is no longer necessary. Though he runs the risk of his responsibilities changing, he feels compelled to communicate to upper management that safety audits should be evaluated in relation to their frequency.
