What is VDA 2 & How Can You Reduce Testing Efforts With It?

VDA Volume 2 “Quality Assurance for Supplies” [https://www.encona.org/product-page/vda-qmc-2-quality-management] 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.  In this free 1-hour webinar from 20 September 2023, we touched on the subject which is a customer-specific requirement for multiple OEMs (including Volkswagen).

How To Effectively Audit Customer Specific Requirements

ENCONA [https://www.encona.org/] hosted a free webinar on 30 November 2022. Customer-specific requirements are the requirements created by the customer with the expectation that the supplier will identify, implement, and audit these customer-specific requirements with the same intensity that they do the basic requirements of industry standards such as IATF 16949:2016 - customer-specific requirements fall outside the TS document and are agreed to between the supplier and the customer. The webinar was hosted by our Marketing Manager, Tarryn Jordaan [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarryn-jordaan/], and the lead presenter was our straight-talking subject matter expert, Hans Trunkenpolz [https://www.linkedin.com/in/hanstrunkenpolz/] (ENCONA Founder & Chairman of the Board), who is a certified IATF 16949 & VDA 6.3 auditor and has over 2,600 days of audit experience across the globe. Andras Szabo [https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrasviktorszabo/] (Owner & Managing Director of QFD [https://qfd.hu/en/welcome]) and IATF 16949 witness auditor also joined the discussion and presented the SMANAG [https://smanag.com/landing/en] tool to the audience - this tool simplifies process, CSR, risk, competence, and audit management. enquiries@encona.org encona.org [https://www.encona.org/] | enquiries@encona.org
