Field Quality and Cost Control

Field Quality Issue Discovery and Traceability framework bridges the critical gap between identification of product failure, its diagnosis and resolution, and closes the loop consisting of customer service, quality, production, sourcing, and engineering departments. Equipped with on-field information from point of failure to source of failure, it helps OEMs in:

• Reducing detection to correction (DTC) times by 25 to 50 percent
• Reducing overall warranty related costs by 10 to 20 percent
• Improving early warning by up to 50 percent

Field Quality Issue Discovery and Traceability framework help multiple stakeholders in the following ways:

• Manufacturing and Quality Assurance can trace the information back through a product’s value chain and expose the critical elements that lead to the root causes of failure.
• Field Quality Analysts can proactively explore structured and unstructured data to discover emerging issues, identify problems, and detect key factors in product failures.
• Supplier quality engineers can identify the supply locations that require value-added/value-engineering (VA/VE) assistance.
• The Purchasing and Sourcing departments, equipped with the information of concerned supplier and respective part-number to improve supplier charge back with increased leverage during contract negotiations, can quickly aggregate and analyze claim data being equipped with
• Engineering can identify critical field failure and reliability data that can be used for part selection and decidion product improvements. s
