The implementation of the VDA standard of Maturity Level Assurance for New Parts aims to attain sustainable improvement of the quality of supplied parts. With this method, a process accompanying assurance of product maturity is achieved at the start of production: projects are segmented, assessed early on and corrected. Furthermore, a unified concept is provided for cooperation and communication in complex product engineering projects involving many participants in the supply chain. In the training, you will acquire the necessary knowledge and competencies to implement the standard in the automotive and supplier industry.

• You will be familiar with the maturity level method (assessment, content, control and reporting system) as required in the product engineering process.
