VDA and AIAG made easy with JAWA’s inforum software
What is sampling and why is it important?
Sampling is an integral part of quality assurance in the automotive industry. It consists of testing and validating a selection of parts intended for production to ensure that they meet specific requirements and quality standards. It is essential to guarantee the quality, reliability and safety of vehicles. But how can this often laborious process be optimized?
The role of the VDA and AIAG in sampling
Two organizations have established themselves as pioneers in the standardization of this process: The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG). Both have developed specific sampling procedures and standards that are widely recognized in the industry, although they differ in terms of requirements and processes.
The challenges of sampling
Sampling can be a complex, time-consuming and error-prone process when done manually. That’s why JAWA has focused on developing a solution that revolutionizes this process: The inforum software.

Frequently asked questions about VDA & AIAG in the automotive industry
What are the main differences between the VDA and AIAG sampling standards?
VDA and AIAG are both important standards in the automotive industry, but they have different approaches to sampling. VDA, mainly used in Europe, places a strong focus on the inspection and documentation of production and generally requires greater customer involvement. AIAG, more common in North America, focuses on statistical process control and generally requires less customer interaction.
How can a software solution like inforum improve the sampling process according to VDA and AIAG?
A specialized software solution like Inforum can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the sampling process. It automates many of the time-consuming manual steps, minimizes the risk of human error and ensures consistent application of standards. It can also identify trends and patterns in the data, enabling proactive quality control.
How can I decide whether the VDA or the AIAG standard is more suitable for my organization?
The decision between VDA and AIAG depends on various factors, including the location of your customers and suppliers, the specific requirements of your customers and the nature of your products. It may also be helpful to consult an expert in quality management in the automotive industry.
How can compliance with VDA and AIAG standards help my company?
Compliance with VDA and AIAG standards can help improve the quality and reliability of your products, resulting in more satisfied customers and fewer recalls. It can also help increase efficiency and productivity and minimize the risk of legal issues. In addition, it can help your company position itself as a responsible player in the automotive industry.
