Upcoming Gate4SPICE Event! Changes and Impact of Automotive SPICE® PAM V4.0

Brief description

Automotive SPICE® PAM v4.0 was released by VDA Working Group 13 in November 2023. Subsequently, the Automotive SPICE® Guideline v2.0 was released. There have been substantial changes in the 4.0 PAM as well as new Guidelines. This event will focus on the changes in PAM and Guidelines from v3.1 and their impact on the assessment and implementation aspects.

Key ideas to discuss: 

Overview of key changes in the Automotive SPICE® model compared to v3.1.
Key challenges in v4.0 regarding implementation and assessment.
How is the assessment scope influenced by the new SPICE® V4.0?
Guidelines of v4.0 vs 3.1 – Are the rules no longer valid?
The RL/RCs comparison from v3.1 – Can we still use RCs and RLs which are no longer part of the guidelines?
Are the new Guidelines v2.0 simpler, concise, and easier than their predecessor?
Now that implementation and assessments to PAM 4.0 has progressed, how can you be successful at it?
Cascading PAM 4.0 to your supply base (from an OEM and a Tier 1 point of view)
Integrations with other management systems

The following training courses on the New APQP and Control Plan can be booked with Omnex Europe since April:

The latest APQP – 3rd Edition & Control Plan- Version 1 manuals have been released by AIAG!

As you may be aware, AIAG has been working on the new APQP and Control Plan manuals for quite some time. The automotive industry OEMs and their supply base have been eagerly awaiting the new manuals, which will soon become mandatory requirements and be added to the US OEM CSR documents. Ford, GM, and Stellantis have already announced that they will accept the usage of these new manuals as soon as they are released, making way for international OEMs and a host of large Tier 1 suppliers to follow suit. There are significant changes in both the APQP and the new Control Plan manuals, as indications have suggested. They not only address the needs of the latest ICE and hybrid vehicles but also the new electric vehicles. Around 50 new electric vehicle launches are anticipated this year worldwide. These developments emphasize the importance of new product development and process control more than ever before.

The new APQP and Control Plan manuals focus more on Agile Product Development, Change Management, and Risk Mitigation and include the use of new forms for both APQP & Control Plans.

The changes are significant enough that your organization will likely need to retrain and reskill your NPD, Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain Management personnel, at the very least, to ensure compliance and to implement best practices.

Omnex Webinar - Key Changes in the New APQP 3rd Edition and Control Plan 1st Edition Manuals

The New APQP 3rd Edition and Control Plan 1st Edition are in their early rollout phase. Omnex is scheduled to conduct its first training course in mid-March.

Mike Down, along with his co-team members Mary Rowzee and Gregory Gruska, who have participated in writing many of the core tools, have much to share about the latest release of the APQP and Control Plan.
