Share University of Canterbury Business School, Operations and Supply Chain Management, Professor Pavel Castka and his team are developing an algorithm – Pilot Compliance System (PCS) – to make assessing compliance easier for auditors, protect consumers and enhance New Zealand exports. Before products can be sold, they must undergo a strict auditing process that assesses criteria of compliance. Most of this auditing was previously done in person, but since Covid-19 it has started being completed remotely. This new system of remote auditing provided an opportunity for Professor Castka and his team to test out new world-first technology. There are two problems with the current system of remote auditing that the research will address. First, can it gather enough data from facilities without an in-person visit. Second, can the system identify the information needed from documents submitted in place of in-person visits.
