Würth proves its quality for thrid time in a row
During the ISO/TS 16949 audit undertaken by TÜV Süd, Würth Elektronik was able to prove the high standard of its quality management system. Further to improving on the results from last year's audit, the Würth Elektronik Asia Sourcing department was analyzed for the first time and subsequently certified.
During the audit, all business processes are analyzed and evaluated according to the requirements of ISO/TS 16949. TÜV Süd came into the company for several days and examined all business processes. Commercial processes, for example quotations and order confirmations, are scrutinized to the same degree as the production, supplier management, purchasing and training processes. Also, the management process for assessing effectiveness and efficiency in the quality management system is not overlooked.
"The audit analyses which metrics we use to evaluate our processes, how we assess these and what measures we derive from them." explained Markus Deichmann, Director of Quality Management. "For example, the metrics for assessing the timeliness and completeness of deliveries to the customer are included into the management system in the same way as the employee development."
"The implementation of our Asian Sourcing process into the integrated quality management system according to ISO/TS 16949 is an important step and it differentiates us from the brokers. We apply the same strict cri-teria to our Asia Sourcing division as to all business processes of the Würth Elektronik, thus ensuring our customers the same high standard of quality," affirmed Benjamin Klingenberg, Director of Asia Sourcing.
