About This Course

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, focusing on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer. PREREQUISITES FOR ATTENDANCE Working knowledge of ISO/TS or IATF 16949 basic requirements and experience and knowledge in dealing with customer-specific requirements for sampling processes (e.g. Volkswagen AG, BMW AG and Daimler AG), as well as general basic knowledge of the VDA volumes is advantageous.
