What is VDA 6.3 Process Audit?
VDA 6.3 uses a process-based approach to evaluate and improve controls related to new product introduction and manufacturing processes.
VDA 6.3 is a standard developed by VDA-QMC (Verband der Automobilindustrie – Qualitätsmanagement-Center) for the German automotive industry. It sets the requirements for conducting process audits for companies that provide products or services for this sector. In 2016, a new version of the VDA 6.3 standard was released. It was revised to match the manufacturing process audit requirements within IATF 16949:2016.
The VDA 6.3 process audit is often required for OEMs supplying to German automotive companies. The audit focuses on the production process of the component they are supplying.
Although this process audit centers on the automotive industry, it is an excellent framework that can be applied to any product type in any industry when companies are looking to improve their quality output.
Rather than just focus on the quality management system, the VDA 6.3 process audit focuses on a particular product and assesses the factory’s ability in product quality planning, process development, and associated process controls. The audit approach provides a numeric scoring system and thus a measurable result. The higher the VDA score the lower the quality risk of the particular component that was audited.
It is important to note that an IATF 16949 certified factory doesn’t always equate to a high VDA 6.3 score, because even a factory with Good QMS can have varying performance in the different production lines due to many factors. This is why companies need to perform VDA 6.3 process audits, especially on certain critical components.
