Summary

A significant part of quality in automotive electronics development comes in the following three dimensions:

Automotive SPICE® (ISO/IEC 15504): Quality linked to the development process of software and electronics.
Functional Safety (ISO 26262): Quality associated with the achievement of Functional Safety requirements.
Design for Six Sigma: Focus on the reliability and robustness of products and production processes.

Automotive manufacturers (OEMs) demand from their suppliers increasingly high performance levels in all these three dimensions.The most successful companies have an integrated view on this three-dimensional space. This essentially means that they achieve to take the related aspects into account in an integrated and systematic way from the very early design phases over the whole product creation cycle. In order to be able to do so, they have to qualify employees who are able to understand the essentials of the three aforementioned domains, and therefore act as links between the domain-experts.

This subject deals with these three topics and integrate them into one compact course. The subject is devoted to the practical implementation of the methods used in the mentioned areas of development quality and their integration during the real development. Furthermore, the successful graduates from this subject can obtain ECQA Certified Automotive Quality Skills Integrated industry certificate.
