ID 411 · VDA 16 – Decorative Surfaces of Accessories and Functional Parts in the Exterior and Interior Areas of Automobiles
Background and Topics
If surface specifications are determined too late in serial production they might occasionally cause great additional efforts, for example, as far as selection, scale determination and processing of complaints are concerned, and thus produce increased quality costs. Complying with a zero-error agreement is not feasible due to either absent or not clearly specified features.
In this one-day training the basic procedure of the VDA 16 method is presented and the implementation of surface specifications is practiced with different products or parts.
Target Audience
Project managers, project staff, executives and interdisciplinary personnel from development, planning, manufacture and quality management, as well as personnel responsible for processes in test and inspection realisation of look-and-feel surfaces part inspections.
Objectives
The aim of this training is to show a way to determine the procedure for specifying different look-and-feel characteristics of decorative surfaces. Framework conditions like test and test workplace design are taken into consideration throughout the supply chain in order to avoid process interruptions. With an early definition and determination of the surface specifications in the product engineering process in the sense of a maximum tolerable process location in the feasibility and manufacture analysis, the costs resulting from errors are minimised, and interdepartmental cooperation is optimised throughout the whole process and supply chain. Furthermore, the necessary inspector qualification and “inspection calibration“ is presented based on attributive MSA.
Concept and Methods
During this training, technical lectures and examples alternate in order to support the transfer of the topics into the participants‘ own work environment with a particular focus on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer.
Certificate of Attendance
At the end, participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
