4. The VDA 6.3 consulting process

Step 1. Assess current compliance with VDA 6.3

Consultants first review the management and implementation of manufacturing processes, compare them with VDA 6.3 requirements and identify areas for improvement.

Step 2. Guide improvement actions

Drawing on their specialist knowledge, consultants provide guidance and practical solutions to address the nonconformities identified.

Step 3. Review implementation

At agreed intervals, consultants work with your team to review how VDA requirements are being implemented in manufacturing processes. They check and validate the effectiveness and efficiency of improvement actions. This cycle is repeated during the programme to address issues thoroughly and support a quality management system that works effectively in practice.

Step 4. Prepare documentation for the VDA 6.3 audit

Consultants and your team identify and prepare the documents and records needed for the customer's VDA 6.3 audit. This helps both the business and the auditor carry out the audit efficiently and effectively.

Step 5. Support the VDA 6.3 audit

Consultants provide online support during the customer's on-site audit within the agreed service scope. Support includes clarifying documents, evidence and responses to questions. The audit result depends on the company's actual compliance and the auditor's conclusions.

Step 6. Support corrective action

A VDA 6.3 audit may identify nonconformities, depending on the current level of compliance. ITVC consultants help analyse these findings, investigate root causes and implement timely corrective action to close them. Effective, substantive closure helps strengthen the quality management system in accordance with VDA 6.3.

The programme supports operation of manufacturing processes in line with VDA 6.3 and international quality requirements, helping the business manage production more effectively, improve product quality and increase customer satisfaction.
