How to cut down warranty costs in the Automotive Industry
2/3
OF TOTAL PROCESS COSTS
are due to the provision and management of product data
Continuous transparency with up-to-date production information is essential for the efficient handling of complaints during the warranty period and is indispensable in the daily business process. Quality engineers not only need 8D reports for complete defect analysis, but are also dependent on various information from various sources, such as:
- End-of-Line test data of the defective components
- MES data from the manufacturing plant
- Quality documents from global engineering centers
- Quality assurance contracts agreed with the supplier
Only after checking the target state of the defective component, it is possible to define effective shutdown measures and implement them in production.
However, the information required for this is usually requested manually in personal contact and the provision of this information can take several days. The longer it takes to obtain data, the more inefficient is the entire process of complaints and the decision on corrective action in repetitive manufacturing. Likewise, potential reclaims to suppliers are delayed and additional costs are incurred.
Manually acquired data and high administrative complexity cause waste of time and resources
