Scrap, PPM and throughput, moved in months, not years.
Proven track record
Interior plastic parts
A supplier's interior plastic parts were failing at scrap and PPM levels that put line supply at risk.
Scrap and PPM brought down to series level, the sign-off cycle cut to days, and a process left running robustly under VW Formel Q and ISO/TS 16949.
OEM central quality (K-QS) / India QA
Two new local production lines had to be stood up from greenfield and reach the OEM's own quality bar in seven months.
Both greenfield lines reached start of production on quality, with first-sample and design approval passed and audit-ready processes handed over.
Local supplier base build-out
No scaled local supplier-quality function existed, exposing the lines to disruptions and field complaints.
A qualified local supplier base and a running in-house supplier-quality team; line disruptions and field complaints brought to a stop.
Polymer / headliner
Headliner supply readiness was flagged red before two model-series launches, with daily air freight masking an unstable chain.
Launch and build secured for two model series without a line stop; the air-freight dependency ended and supplier readiness de-escalated.
