The Surveillance Audit is an “Invitation Audit” performed only on invitation form the Organisation.
Unlike Certification Audit, this does not have any “Pre-Audit” nor does it provide any “time for preparation”.
Organisations are expected to invite “The 5S Institute” whenever they feel they a re ready for the same and in the normal case the Audit team will be sent to the organisation anytime between 2 to 4 weeks of such invitation and at a maximum of 4 days notice.
As in the case of Certification Audit, the rating is done on a scale of 1 to 10 and the rating determined is issued as a management letter.
