Quality Assurance Sindelfingen: EuroQ Sindelfingen Branch

EuroQ has been operating in the Sindelfingen region for many years. The team led by Operations Manager Sabrina Schelske has inspected over 50 million components and reworked almost 2 million components for customers in the automotive industry and, increasingly, from other sectors.

From Sindelfingen, the plants and suppliers throughout the region can be reached quickly via the A81 motorway. The Stuttgart metropolitan region is one of Germany’s strongest industrial regions: the automotive sector, mechanical engineering, the metalworking industry, refrigeration and air-conditioning technology, as well as suppliers to the aerospace sector are equally well represented in the Böblingen and Sindelfingen region.

In the automotive sector, the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen plant produces, in Factory 56, upper-class and luxury vehicles: the S-Class, Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and EQS.

Supplier of injection-molded parts for the automotive industry

How quickly can EuroQ Sindelfingen be deployed?

In the event of an urgent quality issue, EuroQ can be contacted directly. Here’s how an assignment begins:

1. Enquiry via the hotline or via contact
2. Response from the sales team or the on-site team. A quotation is provided as quickly as possible, depending on the project data supplied.
3. Approval and deployment directly at the customer’s premises or at external sites.

Short-term containment measures in Sindelfingen

When a quality issue escalates in the supply chain, every hour counts. EuroQ Sindelfingen implements short-term containment measures: processing of quarantined stock, 100% inspection and sorting of suspect parts, either directly at the customer’s premises or at external sites.

Typical application scenarios

• A supplier has reported a quality issue; goods must be quarantined and inspected immediately
• Complaint from an OEM or Tier 1 supplier; traceability and sorting of current stock
• Risk of production line stoppage; inspection must take place alongside ongoing production
• Goods filtering as a temporary solution until a permanent corrective measure is in place

Ramp-up support in Sindelfingen

The launch of a new vehicle model is the most critical phase in the supply chain. Quality issues that are not addressed during this phase carry over into series production and incur costs many times higher than the original rectification costs. EuroQ Sindelfingen is directly on site during this phase: at the plant, at the supplier’s premises or at external locations.

The team carries out component inspections and sorting tasks alongside ongoing ramp-up production, reworks defective but reworkable parts directly on-site, and sets up goods filters for critical components. All inspection results are recorded digitally via the EuroQ app and can be viewed in real time.

• Component inspections and sorting alongside production
• Reworking of parts that do not fully comply with specifications
• Goods filters for critical parts and assemblies
• Support with first-article inspections and approval processes
• On-site supplier support at the plant
• Documentation and reporting for OEM escalations

EuroQ works with certified high-voltage specialists at levels HV 1, HV 2 and HV 3. The team carries out testing and rework on high-voltage components and electric vehicles.
In practice, HV 1 to HV 3 means: the team can de-energise electric vehicles in order to carry out tests, repairs and rework. If necessary, the HV 3 specialists can also work whilst the system is live. In addition, there is XENTRY authorisation with dedicated hardware for software updates on finished vehicles and control units that have not yet been fitted.

What exactly does claims management in Sindelfingen involve?

The team assists with root cause analysis and documentation for 8D reports. All inspection results are recorded in real time via the EuroQ app and are immediately available for claim documentation.
