LPA Benchmark Report

Discover what 2.3M layered process audits reveal about quality maturity, and how top manufacturers build stronger, more disciplined LPA programs.

Ease.io analyzed data from over 2.3 million layered process audits across 2,200+ manufacturing sites to get a rare inside look at LPA execution – and what sets top performers apart.

This first-of-its-kind benchmark report reveals that while the average organization completes thousands of audits a year, most are struggling to reach full maturity.

Key findings:

• Low on-time performance exposes accountability gaps: Less than one-third of companies meet best practice benchmarks for on-time audit completion, while just 28% of organizations close out more than 60% of findings on time.
• Frontline disengagement is the weakest link: 84% of Layer 1 (frontline) audits reveal zero findings, signaling weak buy-in and understanding of the value and purpose of LPAs.
• Leadership is what makes the difference: Plants where leaders participate in audits consistently are 20% more likely to complete audits on time.
