Software Quality Improvement Leader
professional support for projects within the Volkswagen group
The Software Quality Improvement Leader (SQIL), is an approach that the Volkswagen Group established. It is designed to support the quality management within your software development projects.
Volkswagen understood that qualifying suppliers can only be effective if the Volkswagen Group takes an active involvement. The target is to help suppliers to sustainably improve their process landscape and to become an A-ranked supplier.
A SQIL is a person that is certified by Volkswagen. Anyhow it is a person that the supplier selects in order to ensure a trustful relationship between supplier, SQIL and the Volkswagen Group.
Beside monitoring and reviewing the quality performance, a SQIL supports the suppliers organization. It is establishing a better understanding of Volkswagens view and expectations on software quality.
Ideally this collaboration leads to robust improvements of the suppliers development capability, so the SQIL becomes obsolete quickly.
Whenever you are facing difficulties to maintain your supplier rating, you may consider installing a SQIL in your project, temporarily. Our team is ready to support you.
