Special Characteristics
Code: A37
Training description: This course will provide participants with a
sustainable process for the identification and classification of the
product and process special characteristics, according to IATF 16949
requirements. Based on established automotive standards,
the training offers a structured framework for documenting
APQP team decisions regarding characteristics that require specific
oversight during serial production. A strong emphasis is placed on
bridging theory and practice, providing guidelines that organizations
can adapt to their specific operational contexts.
This training is primarily intended for design-responsible organizations
, but is also highly beneficial for organizations focused solely on manufacturing process development.
