Abstract
The pandemic of COVID-19 has been dramatically changed our life including the automotive industry and one of the key factors in this industry is the Assessments against several emerging automotive standards including Automotive SPICE, IATF 16949 and other new standards which becomes mandatory for the automotive suppliers to comply and adapt to these standard to gain new business opportunities. Online Assessments becomes more famous and widely deployed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We can also not deny the fact that it’s cost effective to reduce the number of face to face assessments. Some guidelines from different standardizations organizations were released (including intacs™ and IATF) trying to organize and improve the online assessment process. In this paper, we are based on a questionnaire analyzing the experiences with online assessments and providing best practices for conducting online assessments in the future.
