Gap Assessment
Describe the Gap Analysis
In order to comprehend exactly where you are, where you’d like to be, and how you’re going to get there, a gap analysis is a strategic planning method.
Comparing your current management system to the standards’ requirements is one of the initial steps in a management system transition or implementation process. The most popular name for this is a gap analysis, though pre-audit is also occasionally used.
In order to compare what is now in place with the set of requirements for which each standard is to be applied, a gap analysis is typically performed at the beginning of the certification journey. There are particular conditions that must be met according to the standard, and these are described in numerous clauses. Before you may successfully gain certification, there is a gap that must be filled if your current system does not fulfil the requirements.
The most frequent inquiries are:
● How much time will it take to get certified?
● How challenging is it?
● What’s at stake?
● What will the price be?
There is no conventional response to these issues because every firm or organisation is unique. These differences include distinct industries, sizes, complexities, and hazards.
Also important to an organisation is knowing where they are in their path. They comprehend their current situation and have a goal in mind, but in order to get there, they must put a plan of action into place. The gap analysis tool enables you to create an action plan to successfully complete certification by identifying the gaps. It can also serve as a reality check on where you stand in the project, assisting with resource and timeline planning.
Prior to a formal evaluation, AIS might do a gap analysis to find any points of weakness. To evaluate the current management system with the standards, AIS auditors will do a gap analysis audit.
What exactly does a gap analysis entail?
The auditor will:
● Check to see if your management system complies with the applicable standard’s requirements.
● Keep track of the areas where your system satisfies or falls short of the certification standards.
Talk about the project plan’s requirements and settle on any necessary corrective measures.
There will be a report lodged:
● Verifying the standards requirements that your organisation is now adhering to
● Locating any places that are not compliant
● Create the foundation of a project plan.
This report will make it possible for your company or organisation to put together a plan to close these preparation gaps in time for the required initial certification audits.
