Description

Background and Topics

In order to ensure a high quality of the audit activities in the companies and the entire supply chain, auditors need to have the appropriate competence in relation to the respective methods. The IATF 16949 clearly emphasizes this requirement for the competence of the auditors. The effcient approach during the audits is an important success factor. This training deals with typical audit situations along the Automotive Core Tools.

Target Audience

This two-day training course is aimed at qualifed VDA 6.3 process auditors who wish to apply for an extension, as well as prospective VDA 6.3 Process and IATF System auditors who are seeking qualifcation.

Objectives

The participants strengthen their technical competence and deepen their knowledge on the basis of typical auditing situations in the context of quality methods, focusing on an effcient approach. Both the assessment of the technically correct application of the respective methods and the case-specifc assessment of typical situations are a central component of the training.

Concept and Methods

During the training, the technical input on the single Core Tools (RGA / APQP, VDA 2 / PPAP, FMEA, VDA 5 / MSA, Cmk / PpK/ CpK / SPC and 8D) will alternate with work tasks, single and group work exercises on typical examples. The main focus is on the quality methods that are crucial for the German automotive industry. Priority is given to the practical application by the participants.
