• Problem: Container deliveries contained material of poor quality. Rework and new deliveries delayed receipt of goods by up to three months. Safety stock was not a permanent solution.
• Approach: Consistent use of 3D CAD data in quality assurance. Introduction of state-of-the-art digitisation technology in incoming goods inspection. Optical digitisation of component geometries.
• 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.
