Seminar contents

This training provides you with the basics for performing process audits according to VDA 6.3, considering the process-oriented approach and customer-specific requirements for comprehensive application in the automotive industry.

The examination leading to a certificate allows you to have your qualification independently confirmed so that you can meet the requirements of customers or suppliers regarding auditor competence.

Your certificate will indicate that as a VDA 6.3 Auditor you are able and authorized to independently conduct process audits both internally and on the premises of your suppliers.

 

Objectives

  • You are familiar with the general requirements and fundamental principles of VDA 6.3.
  • You know how to use and perform the risk analysis in a technically correct manner.
  • You are able to apply the questionnaire in practice using the process elements (P1–P7).
  • You know how to identify the relevant risks using the process audit, to point out potentials and ensure a reliable evaluation.
  • You are able to obtain and explain a comparable result on the basis of the evaluation system.
  • You are able to carry out process audits both internally and on the premises of your suppliers independently and in a technically correct manner.

 

Concept and Methods

This training alternates between technical presentations, practical exercises, and case studies in order to support the transfer of what has been learned into your own working practice. Special emphasis is placed on opportunities to exchange experiences.

Supplementary material: VDA Volume 6.3. For the current edition of the VDA 6.3 process audit, a new evaluation and documentation tool has been developed as a web application. Users can obtain the VDA 6.3 Analysis Tool from the VDA QMC web shop: www.webshop.vda.de/qmc

 

Examination

The examination takes place in the form of an audit simulation. The assessment is focused on the performance as an auditor during the simulation. Audit preparation, auditor behavior during the simulation, and debriefing follow-up are evaluated.

 

The examination consists of:

- a preparation phase (30 minutes)

- an audit simulation (25 minutes)

- a formulation, evaluation and justification of findings (10 minutes)

- an interview (5-10 minutes).

 

For preparation, you may use the written training materials handed out (incl. standards) during VDA trainings you have attended, which you must bring to the examination yourself.
