3. Continuous Improvement:
VDA 6.3 encourages continuous improvement of manufacturing processes. This includes optimizing performance and enhancing the ability to meet future quality requirements.
4. Harmonization of Quality Assessment Processes:
An important objective of VDA 6.3 is to create consistency in quality assessment between suppliers and customers in the automotive industry such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AIAG CQI-xx. This helps to reduce differences and inconsistencies in the assessment process from the customer side.
