This course fully covers the syllabus and qualification requirements for PPAP Co-ordinators or CARe’s as defined by AESQ Reference Manual RM13145. The course draws from AS13100 sections B and C and follows the APQP/PPAP model as defined within AS9145 and AESQ RM13145. As well as face to face training in Birmingham, UK, we also deliver this course for different timezones throughout the year virtually, please refer to the timezone section below for the latest schedule.

The 8 Disciplines (8D) Problem Solving methodology is a globally recognised, structured approach to identifying, correcting, and preventing recurring problems. Originating in the automotive sector and now widely used across multiple industries, 8D is a powerful tool for quality improvement and root cause analysis.

VDA 19.1 training (often titled "Skilled Assistant for Technical Cleanliness") covers the inspection, extraction, and analysis of particulate contamination on functional automotive components according to VDA Volume 19.1 and ISO 16232 standards.

This 5 day AS9145 Practitioner course will provide all delegates with an in-depth understanding at practitioner level of the AS9145 standard. It will provide all delegates with an in-depth understanding of the advantages and expected benefits of using the APQP and PPAP processes from planning, product design and development through to process design, validation and on-going production.

This course will provide all delegates with an awareness of the advantages and expected benefits of using the APQP and PPAP processes from planning, product design and development through to process design, validation and on-going production.

This course covers the training syllabus requirements of AS13100 and AESQ Reference Manual RM13000 8D Problem Solving. The AESQ Reference Manual RM13000 mandates the use of the Eight Disciplines (8D) approach to structured problem solving to provide a repeatable structured approach irrespective of customer.

FMEA is an analytical method to ensure potential problems have been considered, assessed for risk, and actioned as part of product and process design. It provides a record of an organisation's collective knowledge about its products and processes. The intent of the control plan is to document and provide value added controls in support of the PFMEA process. Implementation of an effective DFMEA, PFMEA and control plan form key foundation activities in support of the zero-defect goal.

This course will help auditors develop relevant skills in judgment, decision making, audit planning, audit non-conformity writing and subsequent close out related to the aerospace AS 9100 QMS standard, with supplemental requirements required by the Aero Engine Manufacturers (AESQ) standard AS13100. This course covers best practice audit techniques as defined by AESQ RM13005. Internal auditing and familiarity with ISO 9001 and AS9100 would be beneficial but not a necessity.

MSA is used when an understanding of measurement system variability is required. MSA studies will decompose measurement system variability into equipment, operator and part variation. It is often mandated by aerospace and other engineering primary manufacturers as a specific requirement on their suppliers to give them confidence in the measurements that are being taken and reported by the supplier.

Process control concerns the mechanisms by which the output of a specific process is maintained within a desired range to ensure the resultant characteristic meets the requirements. This course introduces Statistical Process Control (SPC) from the basics, creating charts by hand, before then using more advanced methods to monitor and improve process control.

AIAG & VDA Design FMEA: Transitioning for Practitioners is designed to take delegates through the 7 Step Approach to the construction, scoring and evaluation of risk (high, medium, low) and explain how to fully implement the new AIAG/VDA approach

This course, ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Cybersecurity Auditor, has been co-developed between Horiba Mira and SMMT Quality Management Ltd. The aim of this course to help auditors evaluate an organisations cybersecurity engineering processes, for the purpose of conducting a CSMS audit. This course is delivered by Horiba Mira.

How robust is your PFMEA? The Reverse FMEA process aims to identify and validate all potential failure modes and the controls in either a Process FMEA or a Machinery FMEA. It focuses initially on critical processes first (complaints, high risk) but can be expanded to cover all process steps. This leads to a better understanding of new projects, major changes, poka-yoke and mistake proofing devices. It also attempts to purposefully generate new defects and challenge existing understanding.

This training will provide you with a compact overview of the contents, objectives and application of VDA Volume 6.3. It is an introduction to quality management and VDA 6.3, discussing the structure of VDA Volume 6.3, areas of application and introductory insights into audit implementation. This course is ideally if you are just starting your VDA 6.3 journey.
