VDA Field Failure Analysis for Users (ID 632)

Despite increased efforts in development and production processes aiming to provide customers with mature, robust and conforming product, deviations from the expected state can occur when used in the field. Depending on the type of complaint, the potentially nonconforming parts or automotive components are exchanged and can be requested for analysis by the manufacturer (OEM) or by the supplier via the OEM. The VDA Volume Field Failure Analysis provides a comprehensive approach to identifying causes. 

This course is designed for people working within the automotive supply chain, including those working in purchasing, design and development, engineering, production, warranty, quality and sales.
