- Strengthening mutual trust — through transparent and objective evaluations
- Meeting quality and compliance requirements — through structured audits and assessments
Services we provide:
- Conducting potential analyses of prospective suppliers as a basis for the selection process. The outcome of an audit or assessment (e.g., in accordance with VDA 6.3, VDA-RGA, IATF 16949, OSA, LPA) provides a comprehensive view by evaluating potential risks and opportunities, thereby creating a data-based decision foundation.
- Preparation and execution of project and process audits — including on site — in line with specific customer requirements or VDA 6.3, carried out by our certified auditors. Continuous evaluation of target achievement at the end of each phase within the product development process enables efficient and timely corrective actions when required.
- Series monitoring and requalification — verification of requirements-compliant delivery quality through surveillance and requalification audits of manufacturing processes during series production.
- Verification of production capacities — avoiding high ramp-up costs and supply shortages by reviewing installed production capacity based on standardized procedures (e.g., Run at Rate (R@R) or Two-Day Production (2DP)).
- Review and assessment of process capability evidence (e.g., Cmk, Cpk, MSA) — confirming robust production processes by verifying key capability results, thereby enabling a data-based assessment of the suitability of machines, inspection equipment, and/or manufacturing processes.
- On-site assessments — planning, execution, and evaluation of the current status through on-site visits at suppliers, service providers, or within your own plant to identify deviations and initiate necessary corrective actions promptly.
