3 Things to Love about Internal Audits
As a medical device company, your internal audits provide an insightful look into the processes that drive the highest level of quality. Loving them isn’t always easy though. Audits are inherently scary—even internal ones. The good news is, they don’t have to be with the right mindset, approach, and tools. Greenlight Guru provides actionable steps you can take to ensure your internal audits empower cross-functional teams, lead to fewer CAPAs, and incorporate a risk-based approach for better prioritization and resource allocation.
