Volkswagen Quality Systems Audit - What criteria did they use and how did you prepare

[RLBredeweg]

Has anybody gone through a Quality systems Audit from Volkswagen recently?? I'm getting a visit on the 26th & 27th and I just found out today! What criteria did they use and how did you prepare? I don't want to blow this thing as they are a potential new customer - we are currently registered to QS9000 & Iso9002 & Iso 14001 but have not persued registration to TS16949. How much emphisis will be placed on this standard? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I can't see them looking for TS-16949, it is fairly new. I guess since you are certified to the standards you posted and have a dynamic system, there should be no problem.

What are the chances of you or your management calling the customer and ask for some details?

We supply Volkswagen here, and I've experienced an audit but it was so long ago.....it was based on VDA 6.1.
I know they are saying you must be working towards certification to either VDA or TS16949 in order to quote new business to Volkswagen, but we managed to get TS16949 here, so it isn't an issue anymore!
I'll keep looking for something that may help you.....

I had a VW audit a few years ago.
They give marks according to a check list that you should be able to get from them. They supplied us before the Audit.
Our Audit was based more on the spirit of the company rather than finding a document without a sugnature.
It was fair, do not be too worried about the certificates that you have but rather the way you work and the implemntation by the people working.

If any one is still interested here is the link to the VW audit book.
It is still being used
