SQIL stands for SW Quality Improvement Leader. This is a new schema by Volkswagen where improvement agents are trained at suppliers to trace the quality of the processes, the quality of the product, and a set of metrics to track the progress of the development. The idea is to create a synergetic collaboration between suppliers and Volkswagen. Volkswagen defined so called KGAS (Konzerngrundanforderungen Software, in English: Group Basic Requirements Software) requirements which extend the scope of Automotive SPICE by a number of consistency requirements for engineering. The SQIL knows these requirements, usually has an Automotive SPICE Assessor qualification and correctly interprets the VW additional criteria to coach the improvement programs.
