Industrial Audits · Poznan, Poland
We analyse your production process with real engineering experience: observation, measurement, hard data, and conclusions with pricing and ROI. No generic templates - a concrete plan for where to start.
An audit is a combined output of observation, analysis of collected data, and identifying optimisation potential for a line, workstation or operation - depending on the direction and goal agreed in advance. It's a step-back look at production that no one inside the plant has time for day to day. It has a clearly defined scope, area and method - and above all a clear goal, agreed jointly with the client. We don't evaluate people. We map and analyse processes and their dependencies.

OT-IT Audit
We check how far the data in your systems (ERP, MES, SCADA, spreadsheets) matches what's actually happening on the floor - and where the link between production and the system of record is missing. Result: precisely named gaps, fast quick wins with no software replacement, and a credible implementation estimate. This is a source of knowledge that's usually scattered or doesn't exist anywhere in one place - and it's exactly where investment decisions get made.
Key Differentiators
01
Comprehensive Pre-Audit Discussion
Before entering the production floor, we jointly define the direction and objective of the audit with the customer. A general indication of the area of interest is sufficient — we work together to clarify the scope, priorities and expected outcomes.
02
Comprehensive Approach
Technology, process engineering, quality, material flow and ergonomics - we look at the production process as a whole, not just at a single machine or workstation.
03
Efficient and Rapid Audit Execution
A short, precisely planned observation period - a proven methodology, not weeks of disruption to your production schedule.
04
Continuous Collaboration Throughout the Entire Process
Continuous information exchange and the ability to refine or adjust objectives during the audit process - the audit is not a closed "black box".
05
Years of Experience
Hands-on engineering experience across a wide range of industries - from automotive to food processing, plastics and others.
06
Team Expertise
Auditors with hands-on production, technical and technological experience - not just theoreticians, but practitioners with real shop-floor experience.
For Whom and Why
Who order it
Why
An audit doesn't compete with a Lean manager's work.
It's an external perspective that gathers data differently than is usually assumed inside the organisation. Even companies that have worked with Lean methods for years eventually reach a point where further improvement requires a wider, more distanced look at the whole process - not just one chosen fragment.
Methodology
The productivity audit is a universal tool - because we break observation down into events common and repeatable across almost every type of production, regardless of industry.
Precise definition of goals, areas and timing: audit location, observation window, communication method with the crew, and shift selection.
Video recording (where possible and agreed), interviews with process engineers, supervisors, planners and operators. Measurement of times and parameters, event logging.
Tabulated collection of information with time, quantity and breakdown calculations. Identification of trends: minimums, maximums, averages, correlations.
Optimisation concepts, budget pricing, solution variants, implementation roadmap and estimated ROI.
Presenting the report to the client, addressing questions and comments from the customer.
Deliverables
The audit is 100% tailored to the client's goal - there's no single report template.
We don't evaluate processes or employees - we observe, measure, count.
The audit collects and names, in measurable units, a factual state that today is scattered across the organisation - that alone is a standalone value, independent of any implementation decision that follows.
Collaboration
An audit is a form of technical, technological and production consulting - not a one-off report dropped on a desk, but a process run together with you.
An audit is where you can see the 'worn path' - places where the real workflow has long diverged from the designed process, because information stopped flowing between departments.
From Partnerska's audit experience
Voices from the floor
Automotive
12% less downtime
after one day
Observing one shift was enough to identify improvements that cut line downtime by 12% - without major capital spend.
Furniture & wood /
Fewer operations,
more repeatability
The technical-technological audit covered the entire process - from raw material preparation to information flow between departments - and identified where to reduce losses during cutting.
Assembly & riveting
3× production volume,
same team
Assembly automation variants, defined in implementation stages, targeting a 300% increase in production volume with unchanged headcount.
