Klaus Wammes of Wammes & Partner GmbH has pointed out that the VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie), a trade association for the automotive industry, has a new standard for a process for the analysis of field failures that can mean better reliability.
“Incorrectly motivated by supposed cost savings, display manufacturers are increasingly trying to force cheaper, more cost-effective materials or components. What initially saves money and somehow works at the beginning, fails at the end in continuous use. Physics is unavoidable. All implemented parts are interdependent to each other and cannot be easily exchanged. Therefore, the VDA standard is not another cliché-German flood of obligations. From a regulatory perspective, it defines planning processes for the preventive safeguarding of processes and resources. From a technical point of view, it ensures functional displays” explains Wammes.
