Quality as a part of modern technology in the automotive industry

Automotive industry is not only represented by final manufacturers of the car make (referred to as OEMs), but the entire network of large and small suppliers who produce components for several automotive manufacturers. In order to implement this production according to customer requirements, they need to communicate with each other in a way and a language they can understand. This means specialist communication, its tools can be standards or standardized methodology to ensure quality throughout the production chain from the processing of raw materials to final assembly of the vehicle on the production line, its testing and the delivery to the customer. The basic precondition of Industry 4.0 strategy is communication in its broadest understanding. Communication or interconnection is conditioned by the application of generally accepted standards. Part of this connection is the focus on integrated management systems. Philosophy of Industry 4.0 is to minimize the risks as part of functional management systems. Timely and correct communication creates conditions for quality product at the end of the production and supply chain, i.e. a car according to customer requirements.
