Wednesday, May 18, 2016
Lean Audit Benchmarking is a business app that was recently
introduced on Google Play and App Store. This audit app tends to offer one of
the best solutions for business owners to analyze their business and their
employees. With simple words the app measures “Health” and “Maturity” level by
answering several questions (checklists) that are included in the app. It
compares current practices with world-class benchmarks and thus provides
relevant results that can guide your business to the needed changes and take it
to the next level. At its core, this app represents a health check for businesses.
