Supplier Quality — Automotive, Aerospace, Food & ISO 9001
AIAG tools and multi-standard gap analysis for suppliers outside medical devices.
Supplier Quality and quality engineers at IATF 16949, AS9100D, SQF/BRCGS and ISO 9001 organisations who need PPAP, APQP, 8D and supplier controls in one place.
Your week, before and after
The left column is how this work usually gets done. The right column is the same week with the records, evidence and reminders living in one place.
Your week today
- PPAP packages are assembled element by element in e-mail attachments.
- APQP phase deliverables are tracked in a slide deck that is updated before the gate review.
- 8D reports are written to close the customer portal ticket, not to find the cause.
- Supplier scorecards and audits live in a different spreadsheet per commodity.
Your week with VirtualBackroom
- PPAP and APQP are tracked as records, element by element and phase by phase, with status you can report on.
- 8D Co-Pilot drafts each discipline in the AIAG CQI-20 structure for your team to verify and sign.
- Multi-Standard Gap Analysis covers ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and AS9100D alongside ISO 13485 for mixed-portfolio sites.
- Supplier audit prep, scorecards and cost-of-poor-quality analysis come in the same bundle, with quality statistics following the AIAG SPC and MSA manuals.

Other roles
What this page does not claim. VirtualBackroom.ai is advisory and training software. It does not replace your procedures, your regulatory counsel or an independent audit, and AI output is a draft for qualified human review. Deterministic tools (quality statistics, exposure scoring) are labelled as such; where a figure is not produced by one of them, we do not quote one. Plan tiers shown here reflect the current pricing. Read our AI Boundaries and Security pages for the full intended-use statement.
