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.Objectives
