Another Schaeffler Group location has received the prestigious Q1 Award from the Ford Motor Company. With this award, Ford recognizes its best suppliers exclusively. It was granted to the Schaeffler plant in Elfershausen near Schweinfurt which also manufactures suspension strut bearings for automobile chassis.
"The Q1 Award is appropriate recognition of the high level of personal responsibility displayed by all employees at this plant and the continuous pursuit of excellent quality in products and processes," says Dr. Jens Krohn, Plant Director at Elfershausen.
To qualify as a Ford Q1 supplier, vendors must achieve a high level of technical excellence and meet the automaker's stringent requirements for quality, on-time delivery and materials management. Ford uses the Q1 Award to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to continuous improvement in quality and productivity.
Ford and the Schaeffler Group are very much tuned to the same wavelength in this regard. "We have always been focused on zero-defect," explains Walter Sweet, Head of Central Quality Assurance at the Schaeffler Group. "Our Fit for Quality program provides a worldwide framework which enables us to achieve consistent top quality. And this applies to all the products from Schaeffler locations worldwide. "
