Abstract
The bull’s-eye assessment method (BeAM) offers a systematic approach for auditing ISO 9001:2015 implementation. The method integrates a business assurance method and the lean Six Sigma rapid improvement method. BeAM audit trails provide assessors with quick insights into an organization’s key operational and financial performance metrics. A detailed outline of the BeAM method is presented, as well as a sample BeAM audit trail.
