ID417 VDA Automotive Core Tools for Auditors BACKGROUND AND TOPICS To ensure a high quality of the audit activities in the companies and the entire supply chain, auditors must have the appropriate competence with the respective methods.

This training deals with typical audit situations along with the Automotive Core Tools. TARGET AUDIENCE This two-day training course is aimed at qualified VDA 6.3 process auditors who wish to apply for an extension, and prospective VDA 6.3 Process and IATF System auditors who are seeking qualification. OBJECTIVES The participants train on typical auditing situations in the context of Automotive Core Tools, focusing on an efficient approach. Both the assessment of the technically correct application of the respective methods and the case-specific assessment of typical situations are a central component of the training. CONCEPT AND METHODS During the training, technical lectures on the single Core Tools (RGA / APQP, VDA 2 / PPAP, FMEA, VDA 5 / MSA, Cmk / PpK / CpK / SPC and 8D) will alternate with exercises on typical examples. The focus lies on the practical application by the participants. Here, group work, individual exercises, question and answer exercises and plenary discussions are carried out.
