Recently Ford Motor Company began implementing
a Six Sigma Model Quality initiative. The objective was to eliminate 70% of the
downstream CAD model rework associated with CAD model errors.
Interoperability Hurdles
Ford lacked the effective reuse and interoperability of product data between engineers and its global network of suppliers. Re-working CAD models was becoming increasingly costly and time-consuming.
To improve design responsiveness, Ford wanted a solution that would allow them to freely utilize CAD models without substantial rework.
Solution
To solve the problem Ford selected CADIQ®. ITI's CADIQ® is the world's leading Six Sigma quality and comparison tool.
With CADIQ®, Ford is able to estimate and track the number of opportunities for each type of geometry and topology defect within CAD models.
Because of its success, the value of CADIQ® is now available to all worldwide divisions of Ford.
Now engineers and designers throughout Mazda, Volvo, Land Rover and Jaguar, are able to utilize CADIQ® for integration with model quality and design processes.
