Quality Systems

Build the system behind the certificate.

SharpSigma supports quality-management-system implementation and certification readiness. Certification itself is performed by the applicable accredited certification body.

The problem

What this solves.

The management system, process evidence or operating discipline is not yet aligned with the customer, industry or certification requirement.

When to call

Call for ISO 9001:2015 or IATF 16949:2016 readiness, VDA 6.3 process-audit readiness, internal or supplier audits, APQP/PPAP governance, 8D or capability-system improvement.

How work is verified

Readiness is checked through objective evidence and representative process audits. Formal certification is issued by the applicable accredited certification body.

Execution

What SharpSigma does.

The work follows the specific requirement—not a generic checklist. Each step produces an output that can be reviewed and verified.

  1. Map applicable customer and standard requirements to real processes.
  2. Identify gaps in ownership, evidence and control.
  3. Align process flow, PFMEA, Control Plan, SPC and MSA.
  4. Build audit, corrective-action and management-review discipline.
  5. Prepare teams and records for external assessment.
