Thorough Assessment Process
Unlike a checklist, our comprehensive gap analysis digs into how your processes actually work. Kaizen consultants review documentation, interview your team, and observe operations to understand both compliance status and practical effectiveness.
- Documentation review: policies, procedures, records, and forms evaluated against standard requirements
- Personnel interviews: key staff across departments to assess awareness and competence
- Process observation: on-site or remote review of how work actually gets done
- Clause-by-clause assessment covering every applicable requirement
- Evidence-based findings — not assumptions or guesswork
Detailed Findings & Action Plan
The output is a comprehensive report that tells you exactly where you stand and exactly what to do next. Every finding is tied to a specific clause, rated by severity, and paired with a recommended corrective action.
- Executive summary for leadership — clear, concise overview of readiness
- Clause-by-clause findings with supporting evidence
- Gap severity ratings: major nonconformity, minor nonconformity, observation, opportunity for improvement
- Prioritized corrective action plan with estimated effort
- Recommended implementation timeline aligned with your certification goals
