2.2 Integration into the product life cycle

The VDA 6.3 audit standard can be used throughout the entire product life cy-

cle, from the selection of potential suppliers (P1 potential analysis) and the

product and production process development (P2-P4) up to support during

series production and follow-up support after production (P5-P7). Thanks to

the modular structure of the volume, individual process elements can also be

audited depending on the scope to be considered.

Figure 2-1 shows the possible use of the individual process elements accord-

ing to VDA 6.3 and how they relate to VDA MLA and Automotive SPICE

standards.

P1: Potential analysis

P2: Project management

P3: Product and production process development planning

P4: Implementation of product and production process development

P5: Supplier management

P6: Production process analysis

P7: Customer care, customer satisfaction, service

For explanations regarding the potential analysis, see chapter 5.

The use of process elements P2 to P4 focuses on the phase of the product

and production process development. Ideally, both process element P2 and

process element P3 are used after contract award to analyze the planning ac-

tivities.

Process element P4 can be used at a later time to analyze and evaluate the

implementation of the planning activities in accordance with process element

P3.

The breakdown of the process elements provides the opportunity to assess

the planning activities as well as the implementation/realization in accordance

with the requirements. From the contracting stage including SOP, the use of

process elements P2 to P4 serves to identify maturity level and process risks

early on.

Process elements P5 to P7 are ideally used at the time of the milestone SOP.

This corresponds to maturity level ML 6 from VDA MLA. As part of series pro-

duction, process elements P5 to P7 can be used to regularly monitor the se-

ries production processes and the processes after discontinuation of the se-

ries, or to support an event-based reactive process analysis.

In principle, each organization has the right to adapt the use of the process

elements so as to meet their needs during product and production process

development as well as production.

2.3 Differentiation between a potential analysis and a

process audit

As can be seen from figure 2-1, a potential analysis (P1) can be carried out

before a contract is awarded. The questionnaire, with a reduced scope, can

be used to assess whether potential suppliers are suitable as series produc-

tion suppliers. Given that these are potential suppliers, the audit must (if nec-

essary) be based on other processes/products. However, these pro-

cesses/products should be comparable to the product to be supplied. This

procedure can be applied to the entire supply chain, taking into account the

lead time to SOP.

2.4 Identification of process risks (risk analysis)

The effect of individual processes on the product is essential in the process

audit. Consequently, the assessment must be made from the perspective of

the relevant product risk. Potential process risks must therefore already be

identified during the preparation for the audit in order to assess them ade-

quately in the process audit itself.

A risk analysis can be carried out on the basis of the Turtle Model.

An example of the Turtle Model using process element P6 is shown below,

but the model can be used for all process elements.
