VDA AIAG & VDA SPC Manual SPC Manual / Statistical Process Control Process Management, Performance and Capability Control Charts 1st Edition 2026

Die Annotation des Normtextes:

This AIAG-VDA SPC Manual was jointly developed by the U.S. Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) and the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) with the involvement of a global team of experts. The aim was to create a non-mandatory, common international standard, which can be of great benefit to international organizations. Therefore, this handbook harmonizes the latest statistical process control (SPC) practices and guidelines. However, this handbook is aimed at VDA members in terms of its recommendation character.
The global team of experts has looked at the latest techniques and methodologies to help organizations optimize their processes in the best possible way with SPC. Based on ISO and other international standards, the project group standardized the reference manuals, report templates and technical nomenclature, taking into account the changes made in the SPC techniques approach compared to previous versions.
While aligned with relevant international standards (e.g. ISO 22514/3534 and IATF 16949), this manual is intended as guidance. The application of specific methods and terminology may vary depending on industry-specific requirements and organizational contexts.
This handbook covers most of the SPC use cases that typically occur. It is not intended to restrict the application of SPC to specific processes or the development of SPC methods in general.
