The AQUA Automotive Sector Skills Alliance: Best Practice in an lntegrated Engineering Approach
Résumé
The AOUA Automolive Sector Skill Alliance integrates core elements of three complementary disciplines in automotive into one practical, compact skill set. Alliance experts on Automotive SPICE (ISO 15504], Functional Safety (ISO 26262), and Six Sigma collaborated to collect best integrated practice and devise a training with personal certification. The AOUA skill set is highly modular, and comprises 11 learning elements, each with four very compact subviews: Automotive SPICE, Functional Safety, Design for Six Sigma, and an integration view. Some integrated topics are highlighted and illustrated by an example: integrated development process, multidiscipline information flows, and entangled iterations. AOUA courses are currently offered via automotive clusters and training providers across Europe, and as regular university courses. Feedback confirms AOUA is meeting a vital demand in automotive not covered so far.
