VDA 6.3 – Qualification as Process Auditor
Overview
The VDA 6.3 process audit is an effective procedure for assessing processes in connection with planning and manufacturing of a product. These audits are usually conducted within the organisation or with suppliers prior to series release, but also form a valuable contribution for process optimisation with already existing manufacturing lines. Furthermore, potential analysis – as part of VDA 6.3 – also constitutes a tried and tested method to select new suppliers.
The third and complete revision of the VDA standard in 2016 had the main objective of simplifying and unifying the standard in order to give it a more practical and international orientation. With these new advantages, the worldwide importance of VDA 6.3 has increased. Moreover, this process audit standard can now also be applied to further sectors such as mechanical engineering and wind power.
In order to conduct VDA 6.3 process audits, comprehensive knowledge, experience and competence is necessary. Thus, the qualification of relevant personnel is indispensable. In our VDA 6.3 trainings the participants acquire the necessary background knowledge and understanding for process audit procedures.
Target audience
This four-day training addresses QM personnel tasked with conducting process audits in their own organisations (internally) or in the supply chain (externally), as well as external auditors (deployment as service providers).
Prerequisites for participation
Knowledge of the common quality tools and methods, the applicable management system requirements and further applicable customer-specific requirements, as well as product and process-specific knowledge in the intended field of application, is necessary for this training. Furthermore, depending on their scope of activity, participants should have the respective professional experience according to VDA Volume 6.3 and an auditor qualification based on DIN EN ISO 19011.
Objectives
Taking into consideration the process approach and the respective customerspecific requirements, this training introduces the basics for VDA 6.3 process auditors for holistic application in automotive industry. This includes general requirements, methods, principles, the evaluation scheme, risk analysis. In addition, the underlying questionnaire is completely explained according to the assigned process elements (P1 – P7) so that participants can identify the respective risks along the supply chain and demonstrate the respective potential. The goal is to ensure a reliable assessment. Furthermore, the code of conduct for process auditors and the current SIs and FAQs are presented.
Concept and Methods
During this training, technical lectures and group exercises alternate in order to support the transfer of the topics into the participants‘ own work practice with a particular focus on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer.

Are you secure? Implementing VDA ISA in your own company – For a Successful TISAX Assessment
Overview
Protecting business processes and information, even under difficult boundary conditions, is a central task of corporate management. The TISAX model (Trusted Information Security Assessment exchange) was developed for this purpose under the umbrella of the VDA. TISAX facilitates the cross-organizational recognition of information security assessments and creates a common testing and exchange standard for this purpose. It is based on the VDA Information Security Assessment (VDA ISA), a questionnaire that can be used for self-assessment, but also serves as a basis for issuing the TISAX label by the testing service providers. In the two-day training, you will learn how to implement measures for a successful TISAX assessment in your own company using some central VDA ISA requirements as examples. You will also receive an overview of the structure and content of the requirements catalog.
Target audience
Persons who would like to carry out a self-assessment of their company‘s information security in accordance with VDA ISA, who are preparing a TISAX audit, or who would like to develop themselves further in general with regard to automotive-specific standards and systematic methods in the area of information security.
Prerequisites for participation
Basic knowledge of risk- and process-oriented management systems (ISO 9001 or IATF 16949) is an advantage.
Objectives
Concept and Methods
The training alternates between technical presentations and group work. Using examples, you will try out in practice what the implementation of VDA ISA requirements means in concrete terms and what you need to pay attention to. Supplementary Material: VDA ISA 5.0
