VDA 5 – Measurement and testing processes – Adequacy, planning and management – #936
Training in partnership with the VDA-QMC
Context
There are several standards and guidelines that specify the requirements for the identification and treatment of uncertainties in measurement and testing processes. Companies face many problems in this area, especially with regard to the organisation and certification of their quality management systems.
The course explains how to determine the adequacy of measurement and testing processes and how testing processes are planned and executed.
The training highlights the links between the related processes of test equipment management, test planning and test process management (including defined roles). It also focuses on preventing risks associated with the measurement and testing processes.
Objectives
- Know how to implement the methods set out in VDA Volume 5.
- Protect yourself against the risks associated with measurement and testing processes.
- Know how to select the criteria for purchasing your measurement and test equipment.
- Recognise and quantify the factors that affect the suitability of the test process.
- Be able to document the adequacy of the measurement system and process, and know how to manage measurement uncertainties extended to the limits of the specification.
- Be able to bypass inadequate measurement and test processes.
- Be able to assess the adequacy of attributive test processes.
Recommanded for
This course is aimed at people who are responsible for :
– planning measurement and testing processes, and/or purchasing, calibrating or using test equipment,
– designing products and defining specifications/tolerances,
– producing measuring equipment and devices.
- Â Quality teams.
- Quality / QHSE managers, engineers and technicians.
- Project managers.
- Industrialization managers.
- Â Production managers.
- Â Methods managers.
- Auditors
Prerequisites
- 1 to 3 years of professional experience in the field of measurement techniques and/or inspection equipment management – or comparable professional experience
- Basic knowledge of statistics (e.g. Gaussian, normal distribution, Anova, etc.)
Specific operating conditions for remote sessions
- Have a PC equipped with a microphone, webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: To blur or hide the view from behind, background screens are available in Zoom or Teams.
- A good Internet connection, tested before the session.
- Locate in a quiet, isolated area; switch to « not available » status in Teams; close your email access and mute your phone to avoid distraction during the session.
- To avoid off-topic discussions during the session, participants from the same organisation should not be grouped together in the same room, but rather at their own desks. Virtual sub-groups will be set up specifically for the exercises, which will also allow for mixed groups to be created.
- The webcam and microphone must be open during remote qualification/certification exams. It may also be necessary for us to check that you are the only one in the room.
- We ask that you connect at least 5 minutes before the beginning of the session.
Pedagogy
- The pedagogy alternates between presentation sequences and intensive group work and feedback from an experienced trainer. Particular attention is paid to experimentation and practice with the help of practical and specific examples on the management of the control process.
Evaluation mode
- Knowledge test (MCQ).
Course materials
- Participant file containing the presentations delivered during the training and the exercise materials.
- VDA Handbook Volume 5.
