Quality control is an important activity in all industries-it and has gained a vital role in the automotive industry because each component required to build the car should be of the highest quality. Cars have to be more reliable since there are individuals' lives involved. As a car producer, you should invest in PDI to ensure that vendors and manufacturers provide you with the best components. In the automotive industry, there is very little room for error when it comes to safety and security.
During the PDI services, visual inspections are conducted to look for any issues-ranging from looking for even the smallest defects that could cause accidents or expensive recalls. The cylinder head and block are visually inspected; the focus is on the oil boreholes, cooling channels, and oil lines. Also, brake components are checked, such as the master cylinder, brake calliper, fluid, brake discs, etc.
The quality of the automotive parts helps improve safety and usability, which decreases the risk of recall.
Pre-shipment inspections are crucial to detect any problems that could be spotted and eliminated. It helps in saving time and allows the production line to fix any errors or issues before the client receives the shipment.
• Product Requirements: Matching the prototype to the drawings and client's specifications
• Product Requirements: Matching the prototype to the drawings and client's specifications
• Functionality: To ensure that the device functions properly.
• Markings and Labeling: Accurate labelling must ensure conformity by a certified laboratory or on-site during the inspection.
Supervision is an important part of production, enabling suppliers to evaluate any problem and make relevant adjustments.
In the past years, the automotive industry has been grappling with issues of recalls. Vehicles are recalled because the vehicles are unsafe or do not comply with the standards and local emission requirements. Some vehicles also do not comply with the standards of manufacturing processes. PDI services help fix the issue and reduce the cost of sales due to brand image impact.
