Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is fundamental to Zuken's culture

Quality through standards

Our global Quality Control Task Force of software engineers from our global R&D centers collaborate during the development and test phases for each product. They define and apply strict company-wide quality standards across all development centers. During all phases, the progress of testing and fixing is constantly monitored using web-based management technology.

Zuken offers advanced design solutions for the creation and management of PCB designs, electrical and fluid systems and 3D cabinet and wire harness layouts.

We apply strict company-wide quality standards

Thorough testing of all new functionalities: We have formed a global Quality Control Task Force whereby Japanese, German, and British software engineers work together during the development and test phases for each solution. The Task Force defines and applies strict company-wide quality standards in all development centers.

Integration within the environment: Every solution (tool suite) developed at Zuken is tested during the development phase and has to pass through two rigorous quality control cycles upon completion. The tools are tested for their ability to integrate within the complete design environment.

Test using actual customer data: The full design cycle is tested on actual customer data. Beta sites use the software and report any faults. During all phases, the progress of testing and fixing is constantly monitored using web-based management technology.

Recognized for quality

With E3.RevisionManagement, we have the ability to verify our compliance with ISO certification and rail standard DIN EN 61082. In particular, the generation of a detailed and complete change history for our manufacturing documentation, the automated revision of parts lists and subsequent transfer to our production system, has led to significant time and economic savings. Moreover, the number of errors has been reduced within the revision workflow and which has been further optimized using error analysis.
