SAE J1739 + AIAG-VDA FMEA + IATF 16949:2025 Automotive Qualität Familie Schutzkoffer B2B-Leitfaden
SAE J1739 + AIAG-VDA 2019 FMEA + IATF 16949:2016 (mit IATF 16949:2025 in Entwicklung) sind die drei primären Automotive-Quality-Standards.
SAE J1739 + AIAG-VDA FMEA + Action Priority (AP)
SAE J1739 + AIAG-VDA 2019 FMEA Handbook + Action Priority (AP) replaces Risk Priority Number (RPN) + DFMEA + PFMEA + FMEA-MSR.
SAE J1739:2009: "Application of Case Hardening to Powertrain Metal Components" - per SAE. Quality + manufacturing standard for automotive case hardening processes.
AIAG-VDA FMEA Handbook 2019: "Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - FMEA Handbook". Joint publication of AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) + VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie). Replaces previous AIAG 4th Edition (2008) + VDA 4 (1998).
AIAG-VDA 2019 FMEA scope: DFMEA + PFMEA + FMEA-MSR. Applicable to OEM + tier 1/2/3 suppliers + service parts organizations + service parts + aftermarket.
FMEA per AIAG-VDA 2019: Step-by-step process. (1) Planning + preparation. (2) Structure analysis. (3) Function analysis. (4) Failure analysis. (5) Risk analysis. (6) Optimization. (7) Documentation.
Action Priority (AP) per AIAG-VDA 2019: Replaces previous Risk Priority Number (RPN). AP is qualitative + considers relative priority (high / medium / low). Not a numerical score. More rational + consistent.
RPN vs AP: RPN = Severity x Occurrence x Detection (SxOxD = 1-1000). Numerical. Different stakeholders could calculate different RPN for same failure mode. AP is qualitative (High / Medium / Low). Consistent across stakeholders.
AP determination per AIAG-VDA 2019: Based on S + O + D + action priority table. AP = H (high) / M (medium) / L (low). Reduces inconsistent risk assessment.
Severity (S) per AIAG-VDA 2019 Table 4.1: S1 (Negligible) + S2 (Minor) + S3 (Moderate) + S4 (Major) + S5 (Severe) + S6 (Very Severe) + S7 (Catastrophic) + S8 (Life-threatening) + S9 (Death) + S10 (Multiple deaths).
Occurrence (O) per AIAG-VDA 2019 Table 4.2: O1 (very unlikely) to O10 (very high). Failure rates per million parts.
Detection (D) per AIAG-VDA 2019 Table 4.3: D1 (very high detection capability) to D10 (no detection capability). Detection by current controls.
DFMEA (Design FMEA) per AIAG-VDA 2019: Applied to product design. Focus on design intent + design verification + design failure modes.
PFMEA (Process FMEA) per AIAG-VDA 2019: Applied to manufacturing process. Focus on process steps + process failure modes + process controls.
FMEA-MSR (Monitoring and System Response) per AIAG-VDA 2019: New in 2019 handbook. Captures monitoring + system response in service + manufacturing. Considers fault detection + fault accommodation + fault recovery.
FMEA + control plan link per IATF 16949 + AIAG APQP 3rd Edition: PFMEA failure modes + effects → control plan features + special characteristics. Bidirectional traceability required.
FMEA + PPAP per AIAG PPAP 4th Edition: FMEA is required element. PFMEA Level 3 + DFMEA per OEM Customer-Specific Requirements (CSR).
B2B relevance: For B2B automotive cases containing components + assemblies + sub-assemblies, AIAG-VDA 2019 FMEA + IATF 16949 + control plan + PPAP is procurement requirement for OEM tier 1/2/3 suppliers.

B2B relevance: For B2B automotive cases, IATF 16949:2016 + IATF 16949:2025 (when published) certification is procurement requirement for tier 1/2/3 suppliers.
Control Plan + PPAP + APQP + MSA + SPC
Control plan + AIAG APQP + AIAG PPAP + AIAG MSA + AIAG SPC + AIAG-VDA FMEA AIAG-VDA 2019 integration.

Special characteristics (K / C): Per VDA / AIAG. Customer-specific designation. K (Critical) per customer + C (Critical) per industry.
APQP per AIAG APQP 3rd Edition (2008): Advanced Product Quality Planning. 5 phases + 1 (pre-program) per AIAG. Per OEM Customer-Specific Requirements (CSR).
APQP phases: Phase 1 (Plan) + Phase 2 (Product design + development) + Phase 3 (Process design + development) + Phase 4 (Product + process validation) + Phase 5 (Feedback + assessment + corrective action).
PPAP per AIAG PPAP 4th Edition (2006): Production Part Approval Process. 18 elements + Level 1-6 + Customer-Specific Requirements (CSR).
PPAP 18 elements: Design records + Authorized engineering change + Customer engineering approval + DFMEA + PFMEA + Control plan + Customer-specific requirements + Material certifications + Initial process studies (Cpk / Ppk) + MSA studies + Dimensional reports + Initial sample production parts + Checking aids + Customer tooling + PPAP warranty (PSW) + Bulk material requirements + sample production parts.
PPAP Levels per AIAG PPAP: Level 1 (PSW only) + Level 2 (PSW + product samples + limited data) + Level 3 (default - full package) + Level 4 (PSW + customer-defined) + Level 5 (PSW + all elements + samples reviewed at supplier location) + Level 6 (PSW + all elements + samples reviewed at supplier location + initial process studies).
Initial process studies: Cpk / Ppk calculation. Short-run study acceptable for new process. Cpk >= 1.67 for critical characteristics. Cpk >= 1.33 for important. Cpk >= 1.00 for standard.
MSA per AIAG MSA 4th Edition (2010): Measurement System Analysis. Gage R&R + bias + linearity + stability + attribute agreement analysis.

Cp vs Cpk: Cp = process capability (process only). Cpk = process capability index (process + centering). Cpk = min(Cp upper, Cp lower). Pp + Ppk = performance index (initial samples).
Common B2B mistakes: (1) Missing AIAG-VDA 2019 FMEA (using old AIAG 4th Edition + RPN). (2) Missing AP (Action Priority) - using RPN. (3) Missing control plan + PPAP + APQP per CSR. (4) Missing FMEA-MSR. (5) Missing FMEA-control plan traceability.
B2B recommendation: For B2B automotive cases, require AIAG-VDA 2019 FMEA + AP + IATF 16949 + APQP + PPAP + control plan + SPC + MSA + FMEA-MSR + IMDS + CSR per OEM.
