What is VDA 5?
Management of the control process in automotive companies
serves two main purposes:
- Consideration of measurement uncertainty when using inspection results as a necessary
- prerequisite for product safety and conformity assessment
Targeted use of control processes, taking into account production efficiency.
Control process capability involves more than just the release of the control equipment. It also includes the management of measurement uncertainty in product and production development to prevent incorrect assessments of measurement results.
Measurement systems and processes must therefore be adequately and comprehensively evaluated, and the relevant influencing factors that may affect the measurement result must be considered.
Measurement systems and processes require careful evaluation to ensure accurate results. Access our PDF documents on VDA 5 for free.
