The primary focus of audits is risk analysis. In ST, we have introduced several means to achieve effectively this purpose:
- Systematic use of VDA6.3 methodology as the master tool for assessing the capability of customer-oriented processes
- Promoting the automotive audit process approach when auditing system processes (CAPDo) and maturity performance for entities and processes based on international (ISO9004) and French (FDX on Process Management) standards
- Collaboration with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
- Corporate-level risk mapping and prioritization analysis
- Systematic reporting of audit major non-conformities and corrective action follow-up
