Case Study: Jacobs Vehicle Systems improves audit completion and accountability with EASE

Jacobs Vehicle Systems Replaces Kamishibai with EASE to Improve Layered Process Audit Completion and Corrective Action Rates

Jacobs Vehicle Systems, a leading manufacturer of advanced engine braking systems and valve activation technologies, had long relied on paper-based layered process audits and then a manual Kamishibai process to manage audits. The system made scheduling unreliable, limited visibility into findings, and made corrective-action follow-up difficult, prompting the company to look for a better digital approach from EASE Inc.

Jacobs Vehicle Systems implemented the EASE mobile audit platform to digitize LPAs and other audits with cloud-based, real-time reporting, easier question management, and automated visibility into open actions. With EASE Inc., the company increased audit completion rates by more than 40%, improved accountability for corrective actions, and achieved more even audit coverage across locations, while also expanding the platform to safety and 5S audits across global plants.
