The purpose of an audit is to verify that company records, in terms of manufactured items and material stocks, match actual reality, or determine the difference. Depending on the type of manufacture, some differences may result from mistakes, part damage, or other loss. Also, differences might result from employee theft.

In many, maybe all manufacturing organizations, an audit may be a normal annual process.

By some means, all stocks will be counted or measured, and recorded. If a lot of loss has occurred, there is likely to be some search for the lost materials (in case they are simply misplaced) or if theft is suspected there may be an investigation into what happened.

An audit can take many different forms and be anything from a very specific area to a broad and general audit. In general terms, an audit is looking at how well you comply to process and procedures. In manufacturing it could be OSHA compliance for safety, compliance to company processes and documentation on compliance with company policies. What should you expect depends on your position of responsibility. If you are in a position of responsibility, expect interviews, requests for information and documentation and to prepare responses to potential deficiencies. If you are a line worker, expect the possibility of being interviewed and asked questions about processes, policy and procedures. My best advice is always be truthful, and answer the question to the best of your ability.
