Quality management for better products and processes
The demands on the quality of our products and processes are growing with the changing technologies, markets, and requirements of our international customers. MAHLE quality management uses Group-wide standards to ensure consistent quality over the whole process chain - from prevention in product and process development to analysis of causes.

Higher quality through prevention
We make use of comprehensive preventive instruments and quality assurance measures in the development of new products and processes. Targeted prevention means that potential risks and reoccurrence of problems in ongoing production can be avoided to a large extent. In order to optimize the existing approach, which is geared toward established customer requirements, we formulated an improved quality management system with Group-wide prevention standards in 2005. After the system had been in use for a year, the results were assessed in 2006 and, on this basis, further optimizations were developed and integrated into the MAHLE quality management system. As a result, MAHLE was able to offer even higher standards throughout the world by the end of 2006.
