FMEA – Basic Training Harmonised AIAG-VDA FMEA Suppliers delivering their product to European and North American manufacturers (OEM) are obliged to evaluate the FMEA, based on the VDA and AIAG FMEA manuals. Occasionally, this has led to an increase in the complexity of product development and improvement for suppliers. Joint requirements and expectations for FMEA now enable suppliers to design a coherent process for FMEA that meets the needs and expectations of their respective customers. Concept and Methods Before the workshop, an online quiz, for which some excerpts from the FMEA manual are provided, determines the participants’ level of knowledge. Then follows the classroom workshop with integrated individual tasks and group exercises, supported by the instructor’s special expertise. Eight weeks later, there is a final webinar in which the participants communicate with each other, exchange experiences and can ask questions. Aim The objective of this workshop is to teach the basics of FMEA and to give practical tips for application. Prerequisites for participation There are no prerequisites for attending this training. Target audience Beginners and prospective users of this method from product and process development, testing, logistics, manufacturing, inspection planning, maintenance and quality. Qualification Certificate After passing the test, the participants will receive a certificate of qualification. Duration 2 days Literature AIAG & VDA FMEA manual

Every organization within the automotive supply chain is obliged to ensure the safety and conformity of its products. To this end, in the respective countries and regions current legal statutes on product integrity must be observed, also the justifiable safety expectations of the general public must be fulfilled. With products conspicuously “unsafe“ in the market, or whose conformity to legal requirements is questionable, those responsible are obliged to initiate the necessary actions. In order to be aware of and to understand the many demands addressed to a product safety representative, comprehensive information and qualification is necessary. This is the aim of this two-day qualification: it is specifically geared to the requirements in the participants’ daily work practice. The central topics of product integrity are explored, and the competence as product safety representative is developed in the scope of these five modules.   ObjectivesThe focus is on the communication of expert knowledge that enables the participants to handle their everyday work more professionally and in a more targeted fashion as prospective or existing product safety representatives. The responsibilities in the whole supply chain from development through manufacture and use up to the end of intended use are dealt with. After an introduction to the topic the organization of product integrity, product integrity in the product life cycle, guidance for product nonconformities and examples for tools and methods are discussed. Concept and MethodsDuring this training, technical lectures and exercises alternate in order to support the transfer of the topics into the participants‘ own work practice with a particular focus on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer. Prerequisites for participationIn order to attend this training, a technical and / or business education is necessary as well as experience in automotive quality management, especially in complaints and recourse management.

Every organization within the automotive supply chain is obliged to ensure the safety and conformity of its products. To this end, the current legal statuses of product integrity applicable in the respective countries and regions must be observed, also the justifiable safety expectations of the general public. If obviously unsafe products or products whose conformity to legal requirements is questionable are on the market, those who are responsible shall be obliged to take the necessary actions. These manifold tasks which product safety representative has to deal with are subject to constant change. In order to identify the challenges and implement them in one’s own organization, it is thus necessary to renew and deepen existing knowledge. This is the aim of this one-day upgrade qualification: It is specifically geared to the requirements in the participants’ daily practice. The newest insights into product integrity are explored in four modules, and the competence as product safety representative is developed.   ObjectivesThe focus is on teaching product safety representatives expert and state of the art knowledge. This strengthens their competence to master their everyday work. Responsibilities throughout the complete supply chain from design and development over manufacture and use all the way to the termination of intended use are also considered. Particularly, the topics organization of product integrity, product integrity in the product lifecycle, guidance for product nonconformities and examples for tools and methods are dealt are dealt with in particular. Concept and MethodsDuring this training, technical lectures and exercises alternate in order to support the transfer of the topics into the participants‘ own work environment with a particular focus on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer Prerequisites for participationParticipants must have attended a product safety representative training within the past two years and also possess knowledge in automotive quality management.

The objective of the standard is the sustainable improvement of start-up, delivery and field quality of all supplier parts, components and systems through process-accompanying assurance of product maturity at the start of production. By applying a standardized method,projects are segmented, assessed early on and corrected.This system for maturity level assurance describes a standard concept for cooperation and communication in complex product development projects with many parties involved in the supply chain. Therefore, it provides a standard set of measured values and criteria with the corresponding methodology. Since planned comprehensive use of the standard in the automotive and supplier industries requires knowledge and competence in different functions of the organization, a correspondingly broad scope and two-day course was designed.   Content The course imparts knowledge about maturity level methods (assessment, content, control and report systematics) that are necessary in maturity level regulatory processes in the product development process.Furthermore, the measurement criteria are worked out in detail in workshop mode. Finally, the content is applied in practice during a group exercise at an “interdisciplinary round table”.
