Courses
This course brings the essential understanding of automotive quality as a prerequisite for functional safety management. The key concept of the training is to bring an understanding of why quality, process, and project management are basics for producing safety-critical systems. By the end of the course, you will learn how to grow a quality culture and ensure organizational strength by using a specific quality measurement framework. Furthermore, the course will bring the importance of processes and procedures, the connection between safety and quality management, and the project management process through automotive recommendations and standards. At the end of the course, focus will be given to assessment procedures in order to ensure a deep understanding of how assessments are held in the automotive industry as requested by the majority of OEMs.
