AUDIT SCOPE
What Our CQI-17 Auditors Assess
CQI-17 covers both the management system and the controls applied throughout electronic assembly production.
AREA
VERIFICATION
Management System
Responsibilities, competence, procedures and quality planning
Process Controls
Defined parameters, limits, monitoring and reaction plans
Equipment
Production equipment, maintenance, verification and process monitoring
Materials
Solder materials, components, storage, handling and traceability
Inspection & Testing
Inspection methods, test results and acceptance criteria
Job Audit
Actual production job, process settings, records and conformity
Our auditors verify documented requirements against the real production process. A completed CQI-17 assessment is not sufficient if equipment settings, inspection results, process records or operator practices do not support it.
BUSINESS VALUE
Why Use VyVy for a CQI-17 Soldering Audit?
CQI-17 audits help manufacturers and Supplier Quality teams identify weaknesses before they become customer findings, reliability problems or recurring electronic-assembly defects. VyVy gives you an independent assessment of whether the supplier's declared CQI-17 status is supported by actual production controls.
The service is particularly valuable for:
-
Supplier qualification
-
Customer audit preparation
-
Recurring soldering defects
-
Independent supplier verification
For international suppliers, VyVy can conduct the audit locally and report directly to your quality or purchasing team.
ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY
CQI-17 Audits Across Soldering and Electronic Assembly Processes
The current CQI-17 assessment covers a broad range of electronic assembly operations. Depending on the site, our audit can include:
-

The current CQI-17 edition also includes processes such as press-fit, conformal coating and depaneling within its process-table structure. Auditor selection is based on the operations actually performed at the facility.
