ID410 VDA 2 PPA Production Process & Product Approval BACKGROUND AND TOPICS VDA Volume 2 ”Quality Assurance for Supplies” describes the basic requirements for sampling of serial parts submission for automotive serial parts. As an integral part of quality planning, the standard regulates the correct submission of all relevant documents and parts to the customer. This ensures that the supplier understands and implements the customer’s expectations so that the product can be manufactured to maximum customer satisfaction. This training acquaints the participants with this VDA standard as a method for application. TARGET AUDIENCE This training is for quality managers, quality engineers, personnel from purchasing, design and development, logistics or production concerned with quality-relevant tasks and all interested personnel in the automotive industry. OBJECTIVES Within the framework of this training, the participants learn what efficient sampling to the customer means and how a PPA procedure is successfully deployed and documented in the initial sample report. The content and structure of the VDA Volume 2 are explained and reference is given to significant German legal and statutory regulations (e.g., BGB, HGB, ProdHaftG, GPSG, KBA, IMDS, REACH). The participants learn about the basic sequence of PPA and sampling, planning and coordination of the PPA procedure, incl. chronological integration into the product engineering process. The trigger matrix, sampling levels, process validation and dealing with small-scale series are further topics, as well as an explanation of the necessary organisation-specific regulation requirement. CONCEPT AND METHODS During this training, technical lectures and case examples alternate to support the transfer of the topics into the participants’ work environment practice, focusing on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer. PREREQUISITES FOR ATTENDANCE Working knowledge of ISO/TS or IATF 16949 basic requirements, experience and knowledge in dealing with customer-specific requirements for sampling processes (e.g. Volkswagen AG, BMW AG and Daimler AG), and general basic knowledge of the VDA volumes is advantageous. Attendance of VDA training ”Maturity Level Assurance for New Parts” is recommended. CERTIFICATE OF QUALIFICATION After passing the test, the participants will receive a certificate of qualification. SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL VDA Volume 2 - not included in course fee DURATION 4 half-days

ID318 VDA 6.5 Product Auditor Qualification BACKGROUND AND TOPICS Product audits are an especially important method to ensure product quality in the automotive industry. VDA 6.5 is a guideline for managing product audit programmes that allows organisations to develop a classification scheme adapted to their products. With a VDA 6.5 product audit, you can identify customer wishes, review products in this respect, and initiate potential improvement actions. This makes VDA 6.5 an efficient tool to further develop the QM system and products of an organisation. Well-qualified auditors are necessary for the implementation. In this training they can acquire specific expertise. TARGET AUDIENCE This training is for personnel who plan or conduct product audits. OBJECTIVES In this one-day training, participants are acquainted with the structure of audit programmes and the sequence of a product audit – from planning and conducting to the follow-up, reporting and correction actions to be implemented. Methods are presented for identifying possible risks and product improvements to sustainably reduce the complaints ratio. CONCEPTS AND METHODS During the training, technical lectures, discussions and exchange of experience alternate. PREREQUISITES FOR ATTENDANCE Participants should already be familiar with product audits. CERTIFICATE OF QUALIFICATION After passing the test, the participants will receive a certificate of qualification.

ID602 VDA MLA - Maturity Level Assurance for New Parts BACKGROUND AND TOPICS Implementing the VDA standard of Maturity Level Assurance for New Parts aims to attain sustainable improvement of the quality of supplied parts. With this method, a process-accompanying assurance of product maturity is achieved at the start of production: projects are segmented, assessed early on and corrected. Furthermore, a unified concept is provided for cooperation and communication in complex product engineering projects involving many participants in the supply chain. Implementing this standard in the automotive and supplier industries requires knowledge and competence in various functions of organisations. This two-day training teaches the requisite expert knowledge. TARGET AUDIENCE QA personnel, product managers, project managers in product development, product planners, managers and spokespersons of cross-functional and cross-organisational development teams, persons responsible for components, the suppliers’ customer team and project leaders, and key account managers. OBJECTIVES This training imparts knowledge about maturity-level methods (assessment, contents, control and report systematics) that are necessary for maturity-level regulatory processes in the product engineering process. It also goes into details of the initial situation and history as well as methods and the basics of maturity level assurance. Furthermore, the measurement criteria are worked out in detail in workshop mode. Additionally, successful and negative examples from organisations are presented and studied. The roles of the participants are explained at the round table ”opportunities for cooperation”. CONCEPT AND METHODS During this training, technical lectures and group exercises alternate to support the transfer of the topics into the participants’ work environment, focusing on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer. PREREQUISITES FOR ATTENDANCE Basic knowledge of project work, product engineering process (PEP) and/or parts/components qualification. CERTIFICATE OF QUALIFICATION After passing the test, the participants will receive a certificate of qualification.
