Supplier Audits (2nd-Party Audits)
Book supplier audits with flexibility — from a single audit to fully taking over your audit function.
Book supplier audits with flexibility — from a single audit to fully taking over your audit function.
When your own audit capacity is not enough to audit your entire supplier base within the planned cycle, exactly those gaps are where quality problems go undetected – during capacity peaks, a new supplier release, or a special audit following a complaint. This topic closes that gap as a 2nd-party audit – audits carried out on your company's behalf at your suppliers' sites – using qualified, certified auditors for VDA 6.3 potential analyses as well as process and system audits per ISO 9001 and IATF 16949, available on short notice within 24 to 72 hours.
The flexibility pays off economically. A single audit on demand, without a framework agreement or minimum term, is usually significantly cheaper than building additional fixed audit capacity for occasional peaks. The effort scales exactly with your needs – from a single audit on demand, to a fixed annual quota, to fully outsourcing the audit function.
This way, audit results feed directly into your ongoing supplier quality management, secure your evidence toward customers and OEMs, and – with consolidated reporting and KPI dashboards – ensure your audit coverage remains verifiable at all times.
Not a sequential staged model, but three independent engagement models — freely combinable as needed.
The modules can be commissioned independently of one another and close existing capacity gaps in your own audit team — selectively, on a planned basis, or completely.
Goal, target group, and service components of each module — each module can be commissioned independently.
