    ID 104 · Qualification as VDA Auditor

    Contents

    In the automotive environment, the implementation of audits at the system, product and process level is an important component in the continuous improvement process. The need to carry out audits essentially results from QM system standards (DIN EN ISO 9001), automotive QM standards (IATF 16949, VDA6.1) and customer-specific requirements. This tool is used both internally within the company and externally in the supply chain.

    The requirements that auditors have to meet in the various audits are correspondingly diverse. What all audits have in common, however, is the audit process itself. This process, from planning and preparation through implementation and evaluation of results to follow-up, is regulated in DIN EN ISO 19011 as a standard work.

    In this training, the individual steps are considered in more detail, and practical examples are used to practice together. This also includes the communicative and social aspect. Because in addition to technical know-how and knowledge of regulations, an auditor needs good observation skills, empathy, diplomatic skills and creativity.
