\n

The current CQI-15 structure includes dedicated Job Audit Process Tables covering the applicable welding technologies. <\/span>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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

BUSINESS VALUE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Why Use VyVy for a CQI-15 Welding Audit?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A CQI-15 audit gives you an independent view of whether welding controls are technically sound and consistently applied in production. <\/span>VyVy helps clients verify supplier compliance, identify weaknesses before customer assessments and investigate gaps affecting weld quality or process stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

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. <\/span>For manufacturing sites, the assessment identifies where the current welding system needs to be strengthened before an OEM or Tier 1 review.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

WELDING PROCESSES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

CQI-15 Welding System Assessments Across Multiple Technologies<\/span><\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Auditor selection is based on the welding process involved. <\/span>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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
