VDA 6.3
VDA 6.3 is a process based audit standard which evaluates,
analyses and enhances various controls in manufacturing

processes. This standard is developed by the German

Automotive Industry. The VDA 6.3 process audit is an
assessment method to conduct process checks within a quality
management system and assess capability and performance.
The standard can be used by any organisation, for either
internal process audits or for evaluating potential or existing
suppliers. The German Automotive Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM) has recognised it to be an excellent
process monitoring tool for them and their suppliers. Revised in
2010, the standard was comprehensively restructured to reflect
the changes to the ISO 9001:2008 standard and essential
customer specific requirement.
