The aim of RPAS® is to evaluate the stability and effectiveness of the management system and its processes by means of degrees of fulfilment in system maturity levels and weighted, operational risks on the basis of a risk combination matrix, taking into account ISO 19011 / ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 and customer-specific requirements, to present them in a risk map and to implement the use of the required resources with regard to the reduction of risks in processes (internal and at the supplier) and projects more effectively and economically.
The process and risk-oriented audit system (RPAS®) developed with GUKSA GmbH is a tool for analysing and identifying risk areas in companies. Based on defined assessment criteria from the management standard, such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 9100 etc. and the administrative and operational risk factors, operational risk criteria in the auditee's QMS are systematically and reproducibly determined. The result shows potentials and weaknesses in all audited areas / processes of the organisation and simultaneously serves to optimise the management systems as well as to reduce risks in the audited organisations and identify opportunities.
The use of RPAS® in conjunction with the auditing of the management system and its processes not only makes economic sense, but also enables risks and opportunities within the company or at the supplier to be analysed and identified at an early stage. RPAS® is therefore an important factor in customer orientation and a component of targeted risk minimisation within the company.
Using practical and case examples from everyday operations, you will learn about and apply the structure, planning, implementation, evaluation and documentation of risk- and process-orientated auditing in accordance with RPAS®.

Risk Quality Coordinator (RQC) training is not required, but is helpful for understanding the risk topics and methods to be dealt with. The event is aimed at quality, environmental and occupational safety managers and auditors who want to set up and implement a risk and process-orientated risk management system as part of internal audits.
