Zero error strategy
Zero error strategy
Lean, error-free, and disturbance-free production processes without rejects or reworking are the goals we are continually striving for. To achieve these goals, we are integrating advanced quality planning early on in product and process development. In series production, operational quality assurance monitors processes and organizations, while Supplier Quality Engineering actively integrates the suppliers. This allows us to ensure flawless products that meet market requirements and specifications.
