  • Shift of quality inspection from goods receiving to the shipping process in Asia.
  • Application of the new digitisation technology in quality assurance before shipment.
  • Redescription of processes and responsibilities.
  • Integration of service providers in Asia.

  • Significant reduction of delivery times.
  • Optimisation of inventory ratios by dispensing with safety stocks.
  • Faster qualification of suppliers through early detection of component defects.
  • Effective cooperation between design and suppliers.
