BENEFITS
Reliable, consistent results
Improved transmission quality
Significantly reduced warranty cost
Increased customer satisfaction
CHALLENGE: A major transmission manufacturer was very concerned about the inconsistent quality of their shipped products. Assembly defects and variations in upstream gear heat treatment and machining operations were causing subtle deviations in transmission noise. Traditional subjective testing failed to identify defects, which were eventually discovered at vehicle assembly plants or by customers. This led to expensive warranty repairs and productivity disruptions. The manufacturer demanded a solution that would reliably increase product quality, enhance customer satisfaction and provide immediate feedback to improve upstream manufacturing processes.
