Training content

Context

The VDA 6.8 manual aims to standardise, stabilise, optimise and secure your logistics processes. It takes into account the specific requirements of OEMs, suppliers and logistics service providers, as well as the requirements of the Global MMOG/LE.
Applying the guidelines in this manual can help companies improve supply chain transparency, optimise flows and minimise quality risks.
You want to qualify as a supply chain process auditor in accordance with the VDA 6.8 manual, taking into account the process-oriented approach, risk analysis and specific customer requirements in the automotive industry.
You will learn how the requirements of VDA 6.8 can be implemented in practice throughout the supply chain, from project management and project planning/implementation to supplier and service provider selection, procurement, operational logistics (inbound/outbound transport logistics and internal logistics) and customer management.

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.
