Communications

The employees were trained with regard to the changes in the process documentation and how to use the Easy Redmine software (group training on April 10, 2021). The Easy Redmine process overview and individual company processes were presented. The audited employees are familiar with handling Easy Redmine.

The inquiry process was audited as an example.
