CAMPO DI APPLICAZIONE DELL'AUDIT
What Our CQI-15 Auditors Assess
CQI-15 is structured around both the welding management system and verification of actual production.
AREA
VERIFICA
Welding System
Process responsibilities, competence and control of welding activities
Documentation
Specifications, procedures, records and customer requirements
Quality Planning
Control Plan, process preparation and welding quality requirements
Production Monitoring
Weld parameters, inspections, validation and process records
Rework & Scrap
Control, authorization, records and disposition
Job Audit
Actual production job against the applicable welding process requirements
The current CQI-15 structure includes dedicated Job Audit Process Tables covering the applicable welding technologies. Our auditors verify the assessment against actual production evidence. A completed CQI-15 file is not enough if welding parameters, inspection results or shopfloor controls do not support it.
BUSINESS VALUE
Why Use VyVy for a CQI-15 Welding Audit?
A CQI-15 audit gives you an independent view of whether welding controls are technically sound and consistently applied in production. VyVy helps clients verify supplier compliance, identify weaknesses before customer assessments and investigate gaps affecting weld quality or process stability.
For Supplier Quality teams, we can audit the welding supplier on your behalf and provide the technical evidence needed for qualification, development or escalation decisions. For manufacturing sites, the assessment identifies where the current welding system needs to be strengthened before an OEM or Tier 1 review.
WELDING PROCESSES
CQI-15 Welding System Assessments Across Multiple Technologies
VyVy can support CQI-15 audits covering processes such as gas metal arc welding, laser welding, drawn arc welding, resistance welding, friction welding, induction or high-frequency tube welding, fastener projection welding and MIAB welding. AIAG's current CQI-15 edition contains eight corresponding Job Audit Process Tables.
Auditor selection is based on the welding process involved. A resistance spot-welding line does not require the same technical background as laser welding or friction welding. We therefore match the auditor profile to the actual process before confirming the assignment.
