IATF 16949
Certification.

A US robotics integrator sought to optimize costs for pressure sensors and cable harnesses during mass production scale-up under IATF 16949 quality discipline.

Challenge

The customer's supplier industrialization team requested detailed cost breakdowns and the exploration of alternative materials (including UL-certified alternatives) to reduce unit costs without compromising quality or compliance.

Solution

Provided transparent cost breakdowns using standardized CIPL templates, proposed and validated UL-certified alternative materials, and adjusted the manufacturing process to accommodate the new components seamlessly while maintaining IATF 16949 PPAP compliance.

Result

Achieved measurable cost reductions for the customer, secured long-term RFQs for new cable harnesses, and established a strategic supply chain partnership.
