Omnex is not presently a VDA licensee. If the VDA auditor “card” is required by a customer for their suppliers’ auditors, attendees should confirm with a licensed provider if they can take the official exam after this course.



Join Omnex for this important industry approach integrating AIAG and VDA FMEAs. Omnex FMEA experts many of who are writers of the FMEA standards have worked extensively with both AIAG and VDA FMEAs formats. They will show you how to manage your existing AIAG or VDA FMEAs and the steps to transition to the AIAG-VDA FMEA approach.

This half-day or 1-day seminar will provide a high-level review of the changes in the new AIAG-VDA FMEA and the requirements and recommendations for top management.

The approaches discussed and employed in this course are consistent with the intent and guidelines in the AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook (1st edition, 2019) issued by AIAG and VDA.

Learning Objectives

  • Importance of the Supply Chain and how these standards link the supply chain.
  • Requirements flow down the supply chain.
  • Software to support a 3 dimensional FMEA structure and requirements flow down.
  • Design Reuse and product family/process family orientation.
  • Linkage of failure databases and the AIAG-VDA FMEA and reduction of PPM (Cost of Quality).
  • Linkages between System, Sub System, Components and Assembly and Manufacturing Processes.

  • What has changed in the AIAG-VDA FMEA vs the 4th Edition
  • The Seven Steps of the AIAG-VDA FMEA DFMEA and PFMEA
