Overview

“Prompt Engineering for Quality Management Teams” is a hands-on course for roles such as Quality managers and management representatives, Quality engineers and quality planners and Internal auditors. Rather than learning Prompt Engineering in the abstract, you work on tasks from your daily routine – with examples, exercises and templates from Quality Management.

Whether you use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini or Le Chat, the quality of the output depends largely on how the task is framed. Prompt engineering is the skill of conveying goal, context, constraints and desired format to a language model so that it reliably produces usable results. In this vendor-neutral practical day you learn proven techniques that work across all mainstream AI assistants: defining roles and audiences, selecting relevant context, working with examples and breaking complex tasks down into traceable steps. You try out every technique directly on tasks from your own working day.

The second part focuses on repeatability and quality across the team. You develop prompt templates with placeholders, build multi-step prompt chains for analysis, writing and review processes, and set up a shared prompt library. You learn to evaluate output systematically – with review criteria, test cases and targeted self-checks by the model – and to avoid typical pitfalls such as hallucinations, ambiguity and missing context. By the end you have a structured approach that works regardless of the tool you use and continues to pay off as new models arrive.

Quality management depends on clean documentation, systematic analysis and rigorous follow-up of actions. Generative AI can relieve quality teams exactly there: AI assistants create and revise procedures, prepare audits, analyse complaints, support 8D reports and FMEA and compare documents with standard requirements such as ISO 9001 or IATF 16949. Automation sends reminders about action deadlines, evaluates inspection data and consolidates supplier ratings. That leaves more time for root cause work, process improvement and collaboration with production and engineering. AI output must not replace conformity with standards; it needs expert review and must enter the management system through controlled processes. When document control and approval workflows are respected, AI becomes a reliable tool for quality and efficiency.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

  • Open questions, outlook and resources for further learning

Practical scenarios from your field

Writing procedures

An AI assistant turns process descriptions and interviews into procedures and work instructions with a consistent structure, checks them for contradictions with other documents and suggests improvements.

Standards gap analysis

AI compares existing documents with the requirements of ISO 9001, IATF 16949 or ISO 13485, highlights possible gaps and produces an action list for expert evaluation.

8D report support

For complaints, AI structures the problem description, suggests containment actions and possible root causes and writes the 8D report in a form customers can understand.

FMEA preparation

Based on process steps and experience, AI suggests failure modes, effects and causes and helps the team facilitate and document FMEA sessions.

Audit preparation

From standard clauses and the process map, AI creates audit questions, checklists and audit plans and condenses audit notes into a structured draft report with findings.

Complaint data analysis

Complaints and inspection results are analysed by defect type, product and supplier, trends identified and priorities for improvement projects proposed.

Prerequisites

Some initial experience with at least one AI assistant such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini is helpful; no technical background is required. You work in quality management and know the requirements of your management system, for example ISO 9001.

Technical requirements

A laptop with an up-to-date browser and access to at least one AI assistant, ideally the tool approved within your organisation.

Data protection & compliance

AI-generated documents must meet the standard's requirements for controlling documented information and be reviewed by experts before release. Customer data from complaints and confidential product information may only be processed in approved, GDPR-compliant AI environments.

Frequently asked questions

Do these techniques work with every AI assistant?

Yes, the course is deliberately vendor-neutral. The principles – a clear task, relevant context, examples, structured output and review steps – work equally well in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Le Chat and other tools. Where assistants differ in detail, for example with projects or custom assistants, we show the corresponding features in each.

Won't better models soon make prompt engineering obsolete?

Models are getting better at interpreting vague requests, but they still cannot know what you do not tell them: audience, quality standards, internal requirements or relevant background. Good prompts are therefore mainly good task descriptions. Templates, prompt chains and quality checks also keep their value for teams as new models arrive.

What is a prompt library and how do we maintain it as a team?

A prompt library is an organised collection of proven templates for recurring tasks, each with its purpose, required inputs, a sample result and an owner. It can live in a shared document, a wiki or directly in the AI tool's projects. In the course you set up a first library and agree simple rules for maintenance and approval.

Do auditors accept AI-generated documents?

What matters is not who drafted a document but whether it is technically correct, controlled, approved and applied in practice. If you review AI drafts, release them through your document control and keep responsibility clear, they meet the standard's requirements. We show how to integrate AI cleanly into these processes.

Can AI replace an FMEA?

No. An FMEA relies on the team's cross-functional knowledge of product and process. AI can prepare, make suggestions and document, which makes sessions more efficient. Ratings and decisions on actions remain with the team, which is accountable for the result.

How much does “Prompt Engineering for Quality Management Teams” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 1 training day(s) with a live trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.
