Customer specific requirements

>
GS 1.1 Application of customer-specific requirements in the automotive industry

The sustainable implementation of customer-specific system and process requirements CSR (KSF) in the management system is an elementary and indispensable basis for business relationships and leads to quality management (QM) and management systems becoming increasingly demanding and complex.

Both the contractual inclusion of customer-specific requirements and the requirements of ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 are an integral part of the contract and cause considerable additional work for suppliers, as these generally go beyond the QM system requirements of the regulations, such as ISO 9001 or IATF 16949, and should be passed on within the supply chain.

Inadequate maintenance and management of customer-specific receivables can lead to problems in audits and, in particular, with customers. Nevertheless, the resulting industry- and customer-specific risks are not included in the system enough, so that the legal security of the organization is sometimes incomplete. Due to the great effort involved in dealing with Customer Specific Requirements (CSR), larger suppliers even employ CSR analysts at the expense of efficiency.

The aim of our 2-day practical seminar is to enable the participants to acquire the necessary competencies, customer-specific requirements of your customers with regard to the management system and the processes (obligation to obtain), to identify, analyze, maintain, assess (with regard to their appropriateness and feasibility), verify (in the QM system and in the processes) and to report the implementation and effectiveness of the CSR measures to the top management representative, to the process owner in a qualified and fact-based manner.

GS 1.2 Quality assurance agreements from a practical and legal perspective

Dear customers and interested parties,
Quality assurance agreements (QAAs) contain more than just a definition of the customer-specific requirements to be fulfilled. In addition to specifying measures to prevent defective products and services, a large number of provisions are agreed that regulate the consequences of defective performance. In addition to the legal aspects, such as contract and product liability law, QAAs are important documents for reducing company risks.

But what exactly are the legal risks associated with the specific obligations arising from a QAA and how can these obligations be practically implemented in a meaningful way?
What are typical customer demands in this respect and how should they be dealt with?

In addition to an overview of the basic structure of a QAA and currently discussed topics, these questions will be explored during the seminar.
You will gain an insight into the tension between legislators and insurers, customer requirements and suppliers.

GS 9.3 Management System Risk Coordinator (MSRC)
The systematic and holistic management of business opportunities and risks is an important factor in long-term corporate success.
The implementation of an effective operational and process-oriented risk identification, assessment, and reduction system in conjunction with established management system processes is not only sensible from a business perspective, but also indispensable in terms of risk prevention and opportunity utilization.
The aim of our practical seminar is the practice-oriented implementation of an operational risk management system into the existing management system, e.g. ISO 9001 / IATF 16949. This enables you to identify difficulties that could threaten your organization's existence at an early stage, as well as opportunities for your company.
The management system risk coordinator is seen as a manager in the role of “senior management representative” and always works closely with the “process owners” of the various processes.
The management system risk coordinator applies specific tools and methods in a targeted manner and works in an interdisciplinary, cross-functional, communicative, analytical, and networked manner with those responsible for the processes.
In our basic training course, you will further develop your operational risk- and process-oriented quality management. Using practical examples from everyday business life, you will learn about and how to apply the risk- and process-oriented system in accordance with the RPAS (risk- and process-oriented audit system).
You will be able to:
- introduce the management system risk process in conjunction with the existing management system in the organization
- systematically apply methods for risk identification, assessment, and reduction
- report to senior management in a qualified and fact-based manner on the implementation and effectiveness of risk measures and on the risk status
- design, implement, and maintain the elements of risk- and process-oriented MS on behalf of senior management in an appropriate manner.

GS 9.4 Managementsystem Risk Auditor Part 1: Development of a company-specific RPAS®

The extent to which the management system is capable of achieving the corporate strategy, its objectives, and customer requirements is usually only considered to a limited extent in system and process audits. A value-analytical and risk-oriented assessment of the installed systems/processes is entirely absent. As a result, the benefits of audits for the organization are usually very limited. RPAS® closes this gap and reveals potential for both preventive cost savings and improved forecasting of the company's risks and opportunities for management.

The aim of our practical seminar is to explain and train participants in the structure and implementation of the RPAS® system so that operational risks for their own organization/suppliers can be identified and assessed in the context of internal/external audits/assessments. Using practical examples and case studies, participants learn the system for setting up a company-specific risk and process-oriented audit system (RPAS®) in accordance with the general requirements of the regulations and CSR (customer-specific requirements).

The use of RPAS® in conjunction with the auditing of the management system and its processes not only makes good business sense, but also enables the early analysis and identification of risks and opportunities within the company. In view of the specific system requirements of ISO 9001 / IATF 16949, etc., as well as the diverse customer requirements, systematic and holistic process-oriented risk auditing is an important factor in customer orientation and is part of targeted risk minimization within the company.

GS 9.5 Managementsystem Risk Auditor Part 2: RPAS® Auditor Training

The aim of RPAS® is to assess the stability and effectiveness of the management system and its processes by means of compliance levels in system maturity levels and weighted operational risks based on a risk combination matrix, to present them in a risk map, and to evaluate the use of the resources required to reduce risks in processes (both internal and at the supplier), taking into account ISO 19011 / ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 as well as customer-specific requirements. operational risks based on a risk combination matrix, to present them in a risk map, and to implement the use of the necessary resources more effectively and economically with regard to reducing risks in processes (internal and at suppliers) and projects.

The process- and risk-oriented audit system (RPAS®) developed with GUKSA GmbH is a tool for analyzing and identifying risk areas in companies. Based on defined evaluation criteria from management standards such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 9100, etc., and administrative and operational risk factors, operational risk criteria are systematically and reproducibly determined in the QMS of the audited company. The result shows potential and weaknesses in all audited areas/processes of the organization and serves to optimize management systems, reduce risk in the audited organizations, and identify opportunities.

The use of RPAS® in conjunction with the auditing of the management system and its processes not only makes good business sense, but also enables the early analysis and identification of risks and opportunities within the company or at the supplier. RPAS® is therefore an important factor in customer orientation and a component of targeted risk minimization within the company.

Using practical examples and case studies from everyday business life, you will learn how to structure, plan, implement, evaluate, and document risk- and process-oriented auditing in accordance with RPAS®.
