Coming from the situation, that:
- quality management is strongly standards oriented;
- VDA 6.1 is routine for most companies;
- The environment of the automotive industry continuously and also rapidly changes;

- Objectives;
- Quality situation;
- Certification;
- Type approval by government authorities;
- What is new for the quality management;
- Failure;
- Requirements of a new quality management system;
- Principles.
- Instead of providing evidence of a quality system, the company proves evidence of its success (e.g. more profit through the reduction of quality costs);
- A certificate in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001/2 for the type approval is replaced by the disclosure of a self-assessment according to EFQM;
- Instead of having 'audit tourism', one incorporates the auditors in the higher qualification of employees and in support for improvement projects.
