SQM / VDA 6.3YOUR CHALLENGE
When this support adds value.
VDA 6.3 covers relevant project and series production processes. The scope depends on maturity, audit objectives and customer requirements. Support can be provided before SOP and during ongoing production. Where internal audit capacity or specific methods expertise is limited, I provide focused support to existing teams.
Support may cover supplier processes as well as selected process-audit activities within your own organisation.

Focused operational support can help when any of these situations apply.

GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions.
Is VDA 6.3 relevant only after SOP?
No. Relevant process elements may also be reviewed during development and industrialisation, depending on the audit assignment.
Can you help close audit findings?
Yes. Corrective action support and effectiveness tracking can be provided separately or alongside preparation.
