Pursuing digital transformation in quality within the automotive industry
In the automotive manufacturing, consistently high quality is the primary component of operational excellence.
As the evolution of the auto industry accelerates, a manufacturer’s ability to meet aggressive quality goals is increasingly at risk.
The modern manufacturing environment is under an escalating number of regulatory mandates and requirements. Traditional processes cannot adapt quickly to meet new demands and business requirements of the next generation of automotive products.
To prevent risks, OEMs and suppliers need break down barriers and adjust processes based on lessons learned.
Automakers and suppliers must find the keys to accelerating innovation
Automakers and suppliers today are being challenged by stricter sustainability and regulatory requirements, consumer demand for vehicle connectivity and personalization, and the need to innovate rapidly to incorporate alternative powertrains and autonomation.
Today, one of many urgent challenges facing the automotive industry is developing and producing increasingly complex designs in ever-shorter timescales. Digitalization can help maximize the efficiency of existing equipment and processes to guarantee profitability.
Complying with quality standards to enhance productivity
Manufacturers that maintain a traditional mindset with a siloed approach to quality will experience launch delays, rework costs, and higher warranties.
By incorporating a smart and integrated manufacturing quality solution, a digital transformation works to connect the typically disconnected quality processes within an organization. This ensures efficient and effective quality management from end to end with room for innovation.
