Foreword
The VDA 6.3 process audit has been established for almost three decades as
an important method for identifying strengths and weaknesses.
It involves analyzing and evaluating process capability during the product de-
velopment and product implementation phase.
The characteristics of VDA 6.3 are:
- a structured approach to analyzing processes
- an evaluation and points system
- clear downgrading rules
- identification of specific product and process risks (questions marked
with an asterisk, i. e. *-questions)
- a clear presentation of the results of the process evaluation (A, B or C)
- worldwide comparability of the results for similar products and pro-
cesses
- potential analysis for evaluating the suitability of new suppliers, loca-
tions, and technologies prior to awarding a contract
- a focus on the process and the product rather than on the system
The VDA 6.3 process audit is integrated into a company’s QM system and
contributes to the fulfillment of the requirements according to IATF 16949.
The VDA 6.3 process audit is part of the VDA 6.x family:
