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. Furthermore, the participants should be qualified and experienced in the evaluation of technical product and process risks (e. g., FMEA facilitator, VDA 6.3 process auditor, designer / developer) and be knowledgeable about the use of the organisation’s products, the state of the art as well as the requirements from relevant laws and customer requirements. Target audienceAutomotive executives and personnel who are to be deployed as product safety representatives or who already hold that position.

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”. Initial situation and history Methods and basic principles of maturity level assurance Positive and negative examples from organizations Typical conflict of interests Role of the participants at the round table Opportunities for cooperation Group work Prerequisites for participation Experience in project work / product engineering process and / or parts/components qualification Target audience QA personnel, product managers, project managers in product development, product planners, leaders/spokespersons of cross-functional and cross-organizational development teams, persons responsible for components, the supplier’s customer team and project leaders, key account managers. Qualification Certificate At the end, you will receive a VDA certificate of qualification. Duration 2 days Literature VDA volume Maturity Level Assurance for New Parts
