What is Process Audit VDA 6.3?
Process auditing using VDA 6.3 has been an effective method of identifying weaknesses and deficiencies in product development processes for over 20 years. A structured audit ensures that processes meet quality standards, while identifying risks and opportunities for improvement.
VDA 6.3 covers the entire product development process – from feasibility analysis to customer care – and includes clear criteria for risk evaluation. The process audit serves as a key tool for maintaining quality and minimizing risks through project planning, handover to production, purchasing and production itself.
Over its 30 years, VDA 6.3 has evolved from an in-house practice to a global standard used in multiple industries. It has become a key factor in ensuring and improving high levels of quality.
