In foundries, complex primary shaping processes take place. Auditing these processes in a meaningful and effective way requires experience and expertise. An audit that is poorly or ineffectively conducted not only wastes time and resources, it can also lead to competitive disadvantages and jeopardize the customer-supplier relationship.

With 20 years of experience in the foundry and automotive industries, I combine in-depth knowledge from both areas and offer this valuable combination as an independent auditor. I provide you with not only a time-efficient and process-oriented audit, but also identify realistic improvement potential within your foundry.

Experience you can rely on:

• Extensive practical experience: Over the past two decades, I have supported, evaluated, and audited numerous foundries worldwide. My experience spans both large-scale and mid-sized foundries, giving me a deep understanding of different structures and environments.

• Technical know-how: The primary shaping process is far from standard manufacturing. My expertise enables me to evaluate your processes precisely and efficiently, without missing important details.

• Value-added auditing: Every audit I conduct is tailored to the specific requirements of your company. I ensure that all processes in your foundry are evaluated accurately and objectively, enabling you to take targeted actions to optimize and ensure quality.

• Independence & Objectivity: As a TÜV– and VDA-certified auditor, I conduct audits based on the international ISO 19011 guidelines. During the audit process, no consulting or implementation services are provided. This ensures that every audit is carried out independently, objectively, and free from any conflicts of interest.

• VDA 6.3 Process Audit

• IATF 16949 Automotive Quality Management
