Department
Within our EMEA Development Centre, and more specific in the Advanced Solutions Department, the Parts Reliability Section is responsible for the reliability judgment of newly developed and selected parts that will be used in our new products.
This validation is done by carefully setting up the required specifications and through evaluation and testing of prototypes. This in close cooperation with our unit design groups and part suppliers.
A big challenge, because our products and consequently their parts need detailed verification, in order to validate their performance and reliability towards the wide application and operation area.
