Function-Oriented Quality Control Strategies for High Precision Products

摘要

Companies are confronted with increasing product quality requirements to manufacture high quality products, close to technological limits, in an economic way. The implementation of adaptive quality control strategies (QCS) in production offers an approach to cope with this challenge. In this paper, new function-oriented QCS by means of selectively assembling multiple components are demonstrated based on a functional product model. The implementation of QCS for fuel injector systems, which must fulfil narrow tolerances regarding the product’s functionality, show benefits in quality and cost-effectiveness. In the approach a functional model of the product and a simulation of the production system are implemented.
