VDA Volume 2 ”Quality Assurance for Supplies” describes the basic requirements for sampling of serial parts submission for automotive serial parts. As an integral part of quality planning, the standard regulates the correct submission of all relevant documents and parts to the customer. This ensures that the customer’s expectations are understood and implemented by the supplier, so that the product can be manufactured to maximum customer satisfaction. This training acquaints the participants with this VDA standard as a method for application. Tools.

The participants learn about the basic sequence of PPA and sampling, planning and coordination of the PPA procedure, incl. chronological integration into the product engineering process. The trigger matrix, sampling levels, process validation and dealing with small-scale series are further topics, as well as an explanation of the necessary organisation-specific regulation requirement.
Concept and Methods
During this training, technical lectures and case examples alternate in order to support the transfer of the topics into the participants’ own work environment practice with a particular focus on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer.
