Explanation

Relationship between System, Process and Product Audit

  • System, process and product audits represent a selection of the audit types available; however, this listing does not claim to be exhaustive. Comparison of the audit types : Audit Type / Subject / Purpose

    System Audit
    ---> Quality System
    ---> Assessment of the completeness and effectiveness of the basic requirements.
    Process Audit
    ---> Product development process / Serial production
    ---> Service development process / Providing the service
    ---> Assessment of the quality capability for specific products/product groups and their processes
    Product Audit
    ---> Products or services
    ---> Assessment of quality characteristics

    Process audits may be initiated, e.g., for the following reasons: decreasing process quality, customer complaints, and changes in the production sequence, - process insecurities, cost reductions, internal request.
    Process audits can be applied internally and externally across the full quality cycle in the following areas: Marketing, Development, Purchasing (Product/Service), Production/Service Provision, Sales/Commissioning, Customer Service/Services, Recycling

Individual Evaluation of the Questions and Process Elements

  • Each question is evaluated with regard to the respective requirements and their consistent achievement in the product development process (service process) and the serial production (service). The evaluation can result in 0, 4, 8, 10 points for each question, whereby the proven compliance with the requirements is the measure for awarding points. For a grading under 8 points corrective actions with deadlines may be required contingent on the number of question rated at 4 or 6. Business will not be awarded to any supplier with one or more questions answered with a 0.

    Evaluation of compliance with individual requirements
    10 - Full compliance with requirements
    8 - Predominant compliance with requirements; opportunities for improvement exist *
    6 - Partial compliance with requirements; minor nonconformities exist
    4 - Unsatisfactory compliance with requirements, major nonconformities
    0 - No compliance with requirements

    (*) Predominant means, that more than ¾ of all requirements have proven to be effective and no special risk is given.

    The overall grade is determined as follows;

    A = max 7 questions Yellow or Amber and NO questions Red. This is cumulative (4 answers Yellow and 3 Amber maximum)
    B = max 14 questions Yellow or Amber and NO questions Red. This is cumulative (10 answers Yellow and 4 Amber maximum)
    **Action Plan or On Site PPAP review may be required for any B grade supplier**
    C = more than 14 questions Yellow (6) or Amber (4) and any questions Red (0). (No business will be awarded)

    Color Key:
    10 = Green
    8 = Blue
    6 = Yellow
    4 = Amber
    0 = Red
