GGEC RELIABILITY

 

One of the most important issues in regards to a product launch is to ensure the product reliability is designed in to the product to guard against excessive warranty costs over the product life span, and also most important, to maintain a brand image of utmost quality. GGEC knows this process and has the resources and tools necessary to provide the customer a trouble free product both on the assembly line, but more importantly the end user experience.

 

One of the most tragic experiences a product and a company can go through is with a product with on going troubles and re-calls.

 

Therefore as a proactive measure in the design process, our team will assist your team in creating a custom designed reliability plan at the early stages of development (Alpha Stage). This will ensure the product has designed in reliability. One can have an extensive line quality system, but our approach is to design in the quality, not inspect in the quality. Over the long term product life cycle costs and reputation can be saved using this approach.

In the very early design phases our team and your team will go into detailed review as to the application of the product, and worst case uses to build in the necessary preventative design approaches. While experience in the design is very important, validating those design approaches before extensive capital costs are invested are our proactive ways to make a reliable trouble free product.

 

Our engineering and Quality assurance teams will work closely with the customer to document a reliability test protocol. The team will determine the warranty terms for the product, and completely review the end user applications for the product.
