CQI-11 Plating Audit Services & Consulting
VyVy provides CQI-11 Audit Services for automotive manufacturers, suppliers and plating companies that need an independent assessment of their plating system.
Our senior auditors assess the facility against the applicable AIAG CQI-11 Plating System Assessment, customer-specific requirements and the plating processes performed on site.
The audit verifies whether the documented system is supported by actual process controls, production records, testing and shopfloor practice.

OUR SERVICE
CQI-11 Audit Services for Automotive Plating Processes
VyVy can audit your own plating operation or an external supplier. The scope is defined around the plating processes, equipment, applicable CQI-11 requirements and customer-specific requirements.

Internal CQI-11 audits
Supplier CQI-11 audits
CQI-11 gap assessments
Corrective-action verification
AUDIT SCOPE
What We Verify During a CQI-11 Plating System Assessment
Our auditors review the plating system and verify its application directly within production.
AREA
VERIFICATION
Management System
Responsibilities, competence, process documentation and quality planning
Process Control
Bath parameters, operating limits, monitoring and reaction plans
Equipment
Plating lines, controls, maintenance and supporting equipment
Testing
Product and process testing, records and acceptance criteria
Job Audit
Actual production order, process parameters and conformity
The assessment also considers the applicable CQI-11 process tables and customer requirements.
We do not treat a completed CQI-11 self-assessment as evidence by itself. The controls described in the assessment must be visible in the process and supported by records.
PLATING EXPERTISE
CQI-11 Audits Across Plating and Surface Treatment Operations
VyVy supports CQI-11 assessments across automotive plating operations and associated surface-treatment processes covered by the applicable assessment. Auditor selection takes the actual process into account.
A zinc plating line, an electroless process and a technically demanding automotive coating system do not present the same controls or failure risks. The auditor assigned to the project must understand the process being assessed. This is reviewed before confirmation of the assignment.
AUDITOR COMPETENCE
Senior CQI-11 and Plating Auditors
VyVy selects auditors according to the plating process, automotive requirements, country and language required.
Our international network includes senior auditors and consultants with experience in:
CQI special-process assessments
Plating and surface treatment

VDA 6.3 process auditing
Automotive supplier quality
Profiles can include engineers, special-process specialists, automotive auditors and manufacturing consultants with direct industrial experience.
Where a project requires specific technical competence or customer approval, this is verified before the auditor is confirmed.
Auditor CVs and relevant qualifications can be provided before the audit.
