Introduction
Are you a supplier to the automotive industry and are going to be audited by customers who use the VDA 6.3 audit approach when they audit you?
Do you want to learn what the principles are behind the VDA 6.3 audit process that you are being subjected to and to be able to carry out your own internal audits in accordance with the VDA 6.3 approach?
VDA Volume 6.3: 2023 requires internal auditors to be able to prove that they have attended a VDA 6.3 training course and have successfully passed a learning assessment. This is exactly what our training offers you.
VDA 6.3: 2023 also refers to the VDA maturity model (VDA - RGA).
This volume focusses on:
- The analysis of the processes in the supply chain, in the product development and in the manufacturing process
- The derivation of appropriate measures for process optimisation and risk minimisation.
The process can be applied in the entire manufacturing industry. There are special requirements for suppliers to the automotive industry:
- If you are certified according to IATF 16949, you need to carry out process audits and you can use VDA 6.3 as a basis.
- If you deliver to German automotive manufacturers, your process audits should be based on VDA 6.3 and your auditors must be able to prove that they are qualified.
