failure analysis & risk assessmentOur Contribution to Your Success

We support you in precisely identifying weaknesses, eliminating risks at an early stage, and systematically improving your processes – practical, solution-oriented, and tailored to your specific requirements.

We investigate failure mechanisms (cause) and identify the underlying root cause to enable sustainable corrective actions. Our targeted support in change management ensures long-term solutions for:

Validation failures in the PPAP process (DV, PV), especially after climate stress tests according to IEC 60068-2, VW 80000, BMW and Mercedes factory standards
Dendrite formation (ECM, AMP, partial discharge, creepage corrosion, whiskers)
Discoloration (corrosion, oxidation, contamination, polymer degradation)

We provide extensive support in preparing 8D reports in order to minimize legal and financial risks while securing supply capability. Our expertise specifically assists with:

Out-of-court settlements and arbitration decisions
Claim defense and contract compliance
Prevention of indirect financial losses (e.g., bank ratings, financial reserves)
Securing supply capability

We support you in implementing measures to ensure Technical Cleanliness (TecSa) and insulation coordination:

Implementation support for VDA 19, ZVEI guidelines and IEC TR 61191-7
Room planning, equipment concepts, audits, risk assessments and training
TecSa management from strategy and concept development to operational implementation
Development of a robust Component Cleanliness Code for drawings and specifications to ensure compliance with the agreed level of contamination according to IEC 60664-1 and IPC 2221

We help you to identify weak points in process development at an early stage and to minimize risks effectively to ensure the quality of your products:

Analysis of product and prototype weaknesses using rapid quality testing methods
Support with A/B samples
Advice on and optimization of coating, potting, molding and embedding processes
Support with sintering processes
