Q: Program Overview
A:
This comprehensive ESD program evaluation service will provide a detailed audit of the client’s facility ESD program and control elements to the highest professional standards in preparation for S20.20 certification. This service will confirm the client’s capability to control their process to current or future needs. In addition, it will identify areas that may require further attention as may be necessary prior to the facility’s formal S20.20certification audit.

Prior to arrival, an SH&A professional ESD Program Project Manager with Lead Assessor/Auditor qualifications will interview key personnel and request documents concerning existing ESD control, training and related support programs.

The SH&A Project Manager will perform a preliminary examination of the facility and entire manufacturing process accompanied at all times by client ESD coordinator(s), area supervisors and, or responsible manager. The SH&A professional will then perform a pre-assessment audit to determine the facility’s prospects for achieving formal certification. This will include a comprehensive review of documentation, and facility control procedures. During the audit a variety of assessments and information exchange will be conducted, including measurements by client personnel as appropriate to the operation, process needs and certification objective.

The SH&A professional will summarize his findings and provide recommendations while onsite. Upon completion of the trial audit and process analysis, SH&A will submit a final report to the client. Should program modifications be required, the SH&A Project Manager will perform a GAP analysis on final documents for assessment to S20.20 requirements.
