Auditing can uncover many hidden areas of sub-optimal performance, process waste and operator inefficiency. Your laboratory processes, be it order entry, job picking, blocking, surfacing, engraving, hard-coating, AR coating, tinting or fitting may be functional - but we know that there is always much that can be improved, leading to significant efficiency gains.

How Does it Work?

• A ZEISS Auditor will perform a systematic and detailed review of your entire operation. The Auditor will observe your operations, will take measurements and will interact with your management and your shop-floor staff to gain a comprehensive understanding of what you do, and how you do it.

• Following this, we will present a formal report of the status of your Operations, which will include commentary on each process and how it compares to "best practice".
• Also included will be a series of key recommendations of where improvements can be made, along with an indicator of the significance of this.
• Once you have read the report, we will follow up with a teleconference with you to discuss the recommendations, and build a plan around the next implementation steps.
