As a European leader in surface treatment with over 70 years of experience, Electropoli operates in demanding sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and energy. Their commitment to innovation, rigorous quality standards (confirmed by processes such as Zeltec® and REACH compliance), and complex logistics require robust controls and continuous optimization. In response to these challenges, Electropoli's Polish subsidiary in Bielsko-Biała implemented auditomat® – a system from 2KMM Sp. z o.o. – to streamline its audit processes. In our case study, Bartłomiej Jaroszek, Head of Optimization and Improvement, discusses the integration of auditomat® with Electropoli's pursuit of increased quality, compliance, and operational fluidity.

Solution

Expansion potential: The system is currently being implemented in other areas of the company, such as quality (analysis of non-compliant details), maintenance, and departments such as HR, demonstrating its versatility and scalability. Electropoli recommends audomat® to other companies as a great and practical tool for audit management. Improving the work of auditors. The system has made it possible to conduct audits immediately, attaching data and photos directly from a phone. In addition, it has also saved a significant amount of time for shift supervisors and other auditors, who can conduct audits directly at their workstations without having to physically move around to collect documents. The user-friendly interface of the auditomat® system makes it easy for auditors to quickly master its operation without the need for extensive training. This also has a positive impact on management. The board and managers have constant access and insight into the progress of non-conformities, which was previously difficult.

All audits, reports, non-conformities, and corrective actions are now in one centralized location, eliminating the need to search through scattered files, emails, or network drives. Authorized individuals have instant access to real-time data from their computer, tablet, or mobile phone, greatly improving internal communication and speeding up key decision-making.

The implementation of the new system has significantly increased efficiency and saved time by reducing the average audit time by approximately 30-40%, allowing for more frequent and thorough inspections. The number of audits performed has increased by approximately 50% thanks to the elimination of barriers associated with paper documentation. In addition, audit preparation time has been reduced by 50-60%, allowing auditors to focus on the substantive side of their work, and audit processing time (data capture, information distribution) has been reduced by approximately 70%, minimizing manual processes and bureaucracy. The system has also effectively eliminated related errors.
