After the first edition of the VDA volume Field Failure Analysis from 2009 and the audit standard from 2011, both volumes were fundamentally revised and combined. The 2018 edition represents an update and optimization based on the experience gained. In this two-day training, the focus is specifically and in detail on the audit questionnaire and on conducting internal and external field failure analysis audits.
