CAQ SystemCAQ System is an umbrella term designating information systems designed specifically to support quality management processes (Computer Aided Quality Assurance). |
Card method (questioning with cards)Collecting comments in the form of key words. The cards are then divided into groups based on affinity. |
Cause analysisReference to a VDA publication (if the definition is specific to a particular publication, different from it, or complementary to an applicable standard): Standardised complaint process. |
Cause of nonconformityCause of nonconformity is the cause (partially) responsible for the occurrence of nonconformity. |
Cause-and-effect diagram (Ishikawa/fishbone diagram)Reference to a VDA publication (if the definition is specific to a particular publication, different from it, or complementary to an applicable standard): VDA volume 11 . |
CavityStructurally determined hollow space in a product (e.g. blind space) which may, based on the position of the pocket, result in incomplete wetting of the areas under inspection. |
Certification body(general) Body that conducts certification. |
Circulating cards methodAlternative to the card method. Participants note down their idea and pass the card to their neighbour who adds his/her idea and, again, passes the card to his/her neighbour. Consequently, the cards are categorised in a way similar to that used with the card method. |
CMM, Capability Maturity ModelCMM, or the capability maturity model for software, is a framework tool describing elements of an effective software development process. Furthermore, the CMM defines an evolutionary multistage process from an improvised, chaotic process to a mature, disciplined process. |
CMMI, Capability Maturity Model Integrated for Systems Engineering/Software EngineeringCMMI is a developed capability maturity model based on the CMM integrated into system and software engineering. The actual level of maturity statement within a software process evaluation can proceed in two model representation lines: staged representation (determination of maturity based on fixed key processes) and continuous representation (determination of maturity of every key process). Basically, the CMMI is compatible with ISO IEC TR 15504. |
