AI-automated IFS / BRC deviation placement

Mapping every audit finding to the right IFS Food or BRC requirement takes hours of quality expertise. The ERHA pipeline reads the report, proposes the placement, re-checks ambiguous cases and returns a deliverable ready for the action plan.

Deviation placement, the audit bottleneck

After every audit, the quality team re-reads the report finding by finding to attach each deviation to the right requirement, out of hundreds with overlapping wording. It is expert work, repetitive and time-consuming, and it delays the corrective action plan the certification body expects.

ERHA turns that work into supervision: the pipeline reads the report, identifies the deviations, proposes a placement for each and flags ambiguous cases instead of deciding alone. Every placement is traced: you always know why a deviation is attached to a requirement.

What the pipeline takes over

Report reading

The audit report is parsed whatever its original format.

Deviation identification

Each finding is isolated with its context: scope, severity, evidence.

Requirement placement

The deviation is attached to the matching IFS or BRC requirement.

Ambiguity review

Uncertain placements are re-checked, then flagged for arbitration.

Structured deliverable

A ready-to-use table for building the corrective action plan.

Full traceability

Every placement is justified and every run billed at its real cost.

The pipeline applied to the audit

The 5 ERHA steps applied to the audit report: from file drop to placement table.

  1. 001

    Ingest

    You drop the audit report into your dedicated space.

  2. 002

    Analyse

    The pipeline isolates the findings and builds the standard's context.

  3. 003

    Place

    Each deviation is attached to the relevant IFS or BRC requirement.

  4. 004

    Verify

    Doubtful cases are re-processed and marked for human validation.

  5. 005

    Deliver

    The placement table is returned, ready for the action plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which standards are covered?

IFS Food and BRC Global Standard, 231 requirements in total. The pipeline is built to take on other quality standards; tell us about yours during the demo.

How are ambiguous deviations handled?

A deviation with an uncertain placement is never decided silently: the pipeline re-processes it, then flags it explicitly for your quality expert to arbitrate. You validate, the deliverable is updated.

What format is the deliverable?

A structured, directly usable table (xlsx export): deviation, attached requirement, placement justification, review status. Everything needed to build the action plan without re-entry.
