What is VDA 6.8?
VDA 6.8 is a new recommendation issued by the German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) for auditing supply chain processes. This guideline ensures the security of material supply across the entire value chain, aiming to optimize processes while reducing risks and costs.
Unlike product development processes, VDA 6.8 focuses exclusively on supply chain operations.
It outlines the relevant requirements in areas such as project management, planning and implementation, supplier management, procurement, transportation, production and warehouse logistics, as well as customer management. Additionally, it provides practical guidance on how to implement these requirements effectively.
Why is VDA 6.8 important?
Applying this guideline can help companies improve supply chain transparency, optimize workflows, and minimize quality risks.
