Quality management

The quality management system covers every step of the manufacturing process, starting with the selection of suitable materials and production methods, through the planning and implementation of maintenance schedules, to the final inspection of each component. To monitor product characteristics, optical and tactile measuring machines, as well as various gear measurement methods such as double flank roll testing, are used.

Certified to IATF 16949:2016, the system incorporates processes such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), process monitoring, Statistical Process Control (SPC), and Machine Capability Analysis (MCA). The focus is on continuous improvement of system and process quality, increasing customer satisfaction, and identifying and eliminating errors and risks.

The headquarters in Eisenbach has been certified to IATF 16949:2016 since 2017, with the Lerma location following in 2020. This certification brings together numerous automotive industry quality standards, ensuring the root causes of errors are identified and corrective actions are verified.

The guiding principles of the quality management system include:
- Continuous improvement
- Customer focus
- Goal-oriented leadership
- Process orientation
- Employee involvement
- Partnerships with suppliers
- Data-based decision-making

This quality management system ensures reliable products with long service life.
