Automotive Industry Expertise

QIC has supplied solutions to all tiers of the auto industry supply chain.   This is where we became experts in Quality Solutions.

Where it all started

Statistical Process Control wasn't invented by the car industry, but Ford was the first to embrace its principles and use it on the shop floor as part of its "Quality is Job 1" initiative /marketing campaign in the early 1980s.  The proof was in the pudding as the quality and reliability of Ford vehicles dramatically improved.  Quality systems rapidly deployed throughout the industry.

Since then, if you are in the automobile supply chain, you have to have a quality system.  It might be on paper, but there are so many savings to be had by automating the data collection.

QIC was at the forefront of this change in 1981.  We supplied solutions from DataMyte, Gagetalker, and Hertzler Systems which were leading edge at the time.  We have continued to provide solutions appropriate for the automotive industry with our Quality, SPC, MES, Scheduling, and other specialty offerings.

You will find our solutions in all aspects of the supply chain, primarily in Tier 1 and OEM.  Our solutions are so resilient that the system in use today may actually date back to the eighties or nineties!

 

Tier 1/ 2

Whether your product is brakes, seating, chassis, trim, tires, sound systems, powertrain, or springs, (this is not an exhaustive list) QIC has worked in facilities like yours and helped our clients achieve more.
