Description

Implementation of process audits for risk management within the company or in the supply chain

Independent, competent auditors are required to carry out process audits according to VDA 6.3. Especially the evaluation of specific process risks is a very complex task and requires a high level of competence of the auditor with regard to the process technologies to be evaluated.

Goal: 

Fast, independent assessment of process risks within the product life cycle from development to production to service, taking into account special manufacturer requirements, e.g. from VW Formula Q, MBST, BMW Supplier Manual or GM Group Supply
