Internal Audits: A Strategic Tool for Smarter Foundry Management

When most foundry leaders hear "internal audit," it's easy to think of a burdensome paperwork exercise or a system designed to catch employees making mistakes. But in reality, a well-managed ISO 9001 internal audit program is one of the most valuable tools available for improving operational performance across your organization.
