An Interpretation of the PIM.3 Process Improvement Process – Results of the iNTACS Process Expert Training Developer Group for PIM.3

Abstract

In November 2021, the iNTACS (“International Assessor Certification Scheme e.V.”) established the strategy of a certified process expert training. Sub-groups to develop a training to create a practical understanding of different processes have been set up, and this paper reflects the results from the sub-working group developing an understanding for PIM.3 and PA3.1 and PA3.2. So far, generations of assessors had rated processes from the VDA scope but very few assessed PIM.3 Process Improvement Process. This makes the results of the working group a kind of first published state of the art understanding of PIM.3 and how process improvement works in automotive industry.
