BUSINESS VALUE
Why Use VyVy for a CQI-27 Casting Audit?
Casting defects can originate from raw-material control, melting, metal treatment, mold preparation, pouring, cooling or finishing operations.
A CQI-27 audit gives you an independent view of whether those controls are effective before weaknesses become recurring defects, customer complaints or OEM findings.
VyVy supports clients that need to:
-
Qualify or monitor foundry suppliers
-
Verify CQI-27 compliance
-
Investigate recurring casting issues
-
Prepare for customer assessments
For international suppliers, VyVy can conduct the assessment locally and report directly to your Supplier Quality or Purchasing team.
MOLDING PROCESS
CQI-27 Casting System Assessments Across Foundry Technologies
The current CQI-27 assessment includes ten process tables covering automotive casting technologies such as:
-
Sand and investment casting
-
Centrifugal casting
-
Aluminum casting
-
High-pressure die casting
The detailed scope includes iron, steel, aluminum, magnesium and zinc casting processes depending on the applicable process table. Auditor selection is based on the actual foundry process. A high-pressure aluminum die casting operation requires different technical experience from an iron sand foundry. We take that into account before assigning the auditor.
