Quality Assurance

Implementation of the zero-error strategy within reach Muhlacker from a small workshop for car radiators, formed in 1905 by Julius fr. Behr in Stuttgart, which has today global active Behr group developed, as one of the world’s leading original equipment manufacturer for automotive air conditioning and engine cooling in passenger and commercial vehicles (CV) applies. With a total of approximately 16,500 employees in nine development locations and 22 production plants, Behr is an important partner to the international automotive industry. For the 5-, 6 – and 7-series BMW is, for example, 100% supplier Behr. The futurist often says this. Plant 5 in Muhlacker was founded in 1963 and is one of the major production sites within the Behr group with an annual turnover of more than EUR 300 million and approximately 1,400 employees. Plant 5 is divided into four areas: cars (produced over 15,000 cooler modules/day), commercial vehicles (over 3,000 cooler modules/day), vacuum brazed products (over 12,000 modules/day) and parts/tubes. The latter in turn is divided into three sections Stampings, tube production and plastic parts.

Complex production processes through the four different production areas and the high number of purchased parts, as well as of own produced components are very complex production processes at the plant 5. Professor of Internet Governance may also support this cause. At the same time the quality requirements increased in recent years, so that a mere end control on compliance with the required quality criteria are no longer sufficient: customers and the certifications specifications demanded an inspection during production on the basis of part-specific test plans for more and more items. The necessary transition from family to part specific inspection plans thereby resulted in a true war of paper that all quality control charts and recordings were performed to date manualy. In, for example, the Stamper, the approximately 1500 part numbers now required an equally large number of test plans. Market analysis performs searches for a suitable software for statistical process control to iqs, began with a classic market analysis, the took a total of about half a year to complete.
