CAMPO DI APPLICAZIONE DELL'AUDIT

What Our CQI-27 Auditors Assess

The audit covers the casting management system and the controls applied throughout production.

AREA

VERIFICA

Casting System

Responsibilities, competence, documentation and quality planning

Material & Melting

Material control, charge preparation, melt conditions and treatment

Controllo di processo

Defined parameters, monitoring, operating limits and reactions

Equipment & Tooling

Furnaces, molds, dies, equipment condition and maintenance

Inspection & Testing

Process verification, product inspection and test evidence

Production Evidence

Actual manufacturing records and conformity with defined controls

The assessment is performed against the process requirements applicable to the foundry operation. AIAG developed CQI-27 specifically to provide common process requirements for automotive foundries and reduce the risk of nonconforming castings reaching OEM customers.

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.
