Description

 Preface to the 3rd, fully revised and expanded Edition

The advancing developments in quality management in the automotive industry have required a complete revision of the VDA volume 4 both with regard to content as well as editorial.

Changes in content were mainly made in the following areas:

• Integration of a chapter on the 5 Why method
• Integration of the method selection model from the former VDA volume 14
• Summaries of the methods FMEA and 8D due to their transfer as detailed, independent VDA volumes
• Integration of further developments and new perceptions for various method descriptions
• Dissolving the ring-binder structure: This volume is now available as a monograph available in four sections, which improves clarity and easy referencing.

In the course of the editorial revision:

• References, sources and standard references have been updated,
• Spelling, grammar and consistency have been verified and
• Figures have been reworked.
