Quality Management System (QMS) Training in Sud-Vest

This instructor-led, live training in Sud-Vest (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level professionals seeking to cultivate a disciplined framework for detecting, examining, and resolving challenges using RCA techniques.

Upon completing this program, participants will have the ability to:

• Grasp the core principles of RCA and the mechanics of continuous improvement cycles.
• Utilize a variety of RCA instruments to trace issues back to their source.
• Formulate and execute high-impact problem-solving strategies.
• Weave RCA into broader organizational initiatives for improvement and prevention.

This instructor-led, live training in Sud-Vest (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level quality control professionals who wish to learn the fundamentals of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and apply it in real-world scenarios.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Use basic SPC tools such as control charts, histograms, Pareto charts, and scatter diagrams to monitor process performance.
• Create and interpret various types of control charts for variable and attribute data to detect and analyze process variations.
• Calculate and interpret process capability indices.

This ISO 9001 Lead Implementer training builds the expertise required to assist organizations in establishing and maintaining a Quality Management System (QMS) compliant with ISO 9001. The curriculum also emphasizes best practices in QMS, helping to drive improvements in customer satisfaction and organizational effectiveness.

Once you have fully grasped the essential QMS concepts, you can proceed to the certification exam and apply for the “PECB Certified ISO 9001 Lead Implementer” title. This credential validates your professional ability and practical knowledge to implement ISO 9001 successfully within an organization.

Quality Core Tools is a practical, instructor-led course that provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the five core quality methodologies used throughout the automotive product lifecycle. The course focuses on the practical application of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), enabling participants to effectively apply these methodologies within quality and project environments.

Designed for engineers who already possess basic knowledge of the Core Tools, this course reinforces best practices, explains the relationships between the individual methodologies, and develops the practical skills required to use them confidently in day-to-day work. Particular emphasis is placed on APQP, PPAP, and Process FMEA, while SPC and MSA are reviewed from a practical application perspective.

The course also provides participants with the knowledge required to satisfy the Core Tools training prerequisite for subsequent VDA 6.3 Process Auditor training, while maintaining a strong focus on practical industrial application.

Target Audience

This course is intended for:

• Quality Engineers

• Project Engineers

• Supplier Quality Engineers

• Manufacturing Engineers

• Process Engineers

• Quality Specialists involved in product and process development

• Professionals preparing for VDA 6.3 Process Auditor training

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the purpose and relationship between the five AIAG Quality Core Tools.

• Apply APQP methodology throughout the product development lifecycle.

• Prepare and review PPAP documentation and submission packages.

• Develop and evaluate Process FMEA using the AIAG-VDA methodology.

• Apply Control Plans as part of process quality management.

• Interpret SPC charts and evaluate process stability and capability.

• Assess measurement systems using MSA techniques.

• Identify common implementation mistakes and apply industry best practices.

• Integrate the Core Tools into everyday quality and project management activities.

• Demonstrate the level of Core Tools knowledge expected prior to attending VDA 6.3 Process Auditor training.

This training program aims to equip professionals with a thorough grasp of root cause analysis and the implementation of corrective actions. Attendees will acquire the skills to differentiate between the underlying cause of a problem and the cause of non-detection, apply a variety of analytical tools, and understand the distinction between corrective actions and mere corrections. Additionally, the course explores methods for validating the effectiveness of implemented measures and introduces the 8D problem-solving methodology.

Key Benefits:

• Build the capacity to effectively identify and resolve the fundamental causes of issues.
• Develop competence in utilizing essential analytical tools and techniques.
• Master the implementation and verification of corrective actions to prevent issue recurrence.
• Enhance process reliability and quality standards across your organization.
• Cultivate an organizational culture focused on continuous improvement and proactive problem resolution.
