With a largely functioning QA structure, 4\u20138 weeks are often enough for a systematic audit preparation. With shorter lead times, we prioritize the critical points \u2013 missing WPS, missing welder qualification tests, incomplete material traceability \u2013 and make the most important areas audit-ready even in 2 weeks.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Can you also help with complaint clarification with our OEM customer?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes. Complaint clarification with OEM customers is a central focus of our work. We analyse the technical cause neutrally and factually, prepare the 8D report and, on request, support directly in the communication with your customer \u2013 as an independent technical partner. This takes the emotional tension out of the process and speeds up the clarification.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>We supply several OEMs with different requirements \u2013 can you handle that?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes. We know the specifics of the common OEM worlds: automotive (IATF 16949, VDA 6.3, PPAP), rail (EN 15085), aerospace (EN 9100, NADCAP), medical (ISO 13485) and pressure equipment (PED, AD 2000). We help you build a common base system and efficiently add the OEM-specific add-ons \u2013 instead of running a separate parallel system for every industry.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>What does an audit preparation cost?<\/h3>\n<div>The costs depend on the scope of the preparation. An initial consultation to assess the effort is free. Based on this conversation, we draw up a concrete offer for you with a clearly defined scope of services. The investment often pays for itself simply through an avoided audit repeat or a retained supplier nomination.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Can we also use you permanently as an external consultant after the audit preparation?<\/h3>\n<div>Yes. Many of our customers use us as an external welding and materials consultant on call \u2013 for specific questions, annual documentation updates, new WPS when orders expand or complaint clarifications. This is more efficient than a dedicated full-time position and gives you access to specialized expertise when it is needed.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<!--
