VDA Volume 6.8 is an international quality standard for minimizing risks in the overall supply chain. Its purpose is the standardization, stabilization, optimization and safeguarding of logistical processes.<\/p>\n
This volume was written while taking into account the requirements of the OEMs, suppliers and logistical service providers.<\/p>\n
VDA 6.8 fills in the gap left by the omission of the service questions (chapter 8 in VDA 6.3 version 2016) and it covers current topics such as information security and ESG requirements.<\/p>\n
The requirements of the Global MMOG\/LE are also covered, making VDA 6.8 and the Global MMOG\/LE similar in content.<\/p>\n
This volume seamlessly fits into the VDA-6.x family and presents a focus on the supply chain.<\/p>\n
