What you get

42 questions. 6 sections. One audit-ready picture.

A 14-page printable PDF organised into six plant-walk sections. Each question is short enough for a one-pass walk-around, anchored to a specific Indian regulatory clause, and rated GREEN / AMBER / RED so a Plant Head can hand it to the EHS team and the QA team the same day.

  • Section A · Inspection lifecycle — statutory due-date tracker, evidence vault, photo-audit trail (8 questions)
  • Section B · Calibration cycles — IATF 16949 + Schedule M Annex 3 + IS 7388 (7 questions)
  • Section C · Preventive maintenance — schedules, work-order automation, MTBF tracking (7 questions)
  • Section D · Compliance dashboard readiness — Factories Act, BRSR, CPCB, PESO (8 questions)

Next step

Scored your checklist. Most boxes red or amber?

If your plant is scoring below 70%, fixing it manually will take 6–12 months of EHS, QA, and Maintenance team effort. Or you can deploy InspectWin™ — Wistwin's full ITM platform — and go from contract signature to live compliance dashboard in 15 calendar days.
