Knowledge of the risk-based approach to implementing VDA 5 is essential

Our areas of expertise

Inspection process management according to VDA 5

We support companies in implementing VDA Volume 5 in accordance with the guidelines and in assessing measurement uncertainty. In industrial production, users are required to demonstrate that their processes are capable for certification purposes. The Com.IPM software supports users in evaluating measurement and inspection processes in accordance with VDA Volume 5 and AIAG’s MSA Manual, and offers many other benefits.

Statistical process control (SPC)

The ComPro team helps companies achieve maximum cost savings through the use of advanced SPC software in industrial production and manufacturing. With iNDEQS, you can continuously collect production and quality data, analyse it statistically and monitor it in real time to identify process deviations and take corrective action before defective products are produced.

Statistical methods

We train your staff to meet new challenges in quality assurance. Our course content is always based on the latest ISO standards and VDA or AIAG guidelines, such as the Yellow Volume of the new SPC Manual published by VDA and AIAG. You enjoy maximum flexibility, as all courses can be delivered online, at your premises or at ComPro in Weinheim.

Our vision

The ComPro team supports customers in qualifying their measurement and inspection processes as well as manufacturing and production processes using traditional statistical procedures as well as artificial intelligence methods. As experts in quality management software, the aim is to achieve the highest possible degree of automation, support users in implementing requirements and suggest alternative solutions.

Our mission

With the help of ComPro software, our customers can efficiently meet the requirements set out in international standards and guidelines on measurement uncertainty and SPC (statistical process control). We see our software as an adaptive toolset that can be individually tailored to the specific tasks of each user and brings about success for individual objectives. As part of a collaborative partnership, the team will work with you to make the desired adjustments.
