AUDIT MUTU INTERNAL (AMI) DI IAINU KEBUMEN DALAM PERSPEKTIF PLAN DO CHECK ACT PDCA

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of Internal Quality Audit (AMI) at the Nahdlatul Ulama Islamic Institute (IAINU) Kebumen in 2025 using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle perspective. AMI is a vital instrument in the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) of higher education institutions to ensure achievement of national higher education standards. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with documentation analysis techniques on the 2025 IAINU Kebumen AMI report covering 10 study programs, 3 institutions, and 7 work units. The results show that AMI implementation has followed the PDCA cycle systematically, where the Plan stage includes establishing instruments based on IAPS 4.0; the Do stage covers audit implementation for 20 auditees; the Check stage produces positive findings and non-conformity findings (major/minor); and the Act stage comprises continuous improvement recommendations. AMI achievements show 3 study programs in the Excellent category (NA≥361), 6 programs in Very Good (301≤NA<361), and 1 program in Good (200≤NA<301) with an average of 349.82. Critical findings include weaknesses in documentation systems, incomplete work unit SOPs, and sub-optimal reputable faculty publications. This research provides theoretical contributions in developing PDCA-based SPMI models in higher education and practical contributions as a reference for continuous quality improvement.
