The stability of the Internet connection and the communication software available, such as Skype for Business or Zoom, are tested before the audit. A full remote audit of production operations without an on-site presence is possible only if an online video connection is assured. That way, not only can auditors interview the employees in the office, but they can also go through production, track manufacturing processes, visit warehouses, inspect infrastructures and assess the process environment ? just as if they were actually there.
