All TRW’s remanufactured automotive products are safety critical – and we take no chances with the safety of any of our parts.
Any core considered for our automotive remanufacturing process must pass a strict selection process – if it doesn’t make the grade, then it isn’t remanufactured. Simple.
And no remanufactured product leaves a factory with the TRW name on it until it has gone through the same gruelling testing schedule as our new OE product.
The very latest technology and software is used in the remanufacturing process for all TRW’s products to test for performance and safety.
Automotive remanufacturing – monitored quality, without compromise.
We can detect even the smallest of hairline cracks in rebuilt steering racks and vigorously test the strength of our remanufactured calipers.
In the remanufacturing process for rebuilt steering gears, we use the realisation of the Poka-Yoke idea to avoid errors. This means that every examination step needs to be finished successfully before the remanufactured steering gear is released to the next. This method also contributed to Toyota’s worldwide success.
And with all our automotive remanufacturing, a Failure Mode and Effectiveness Analysis (FMEA) is carried out to uncover possible failures and identify improvements at the earliest possible stages.
Pace of technology and development
Due to the development of technology, automotive remanufacturing is at a critical stage today.
There is huge scope for the future of remanufactured electronics and mechatronics – and this is an area where TRW can and will lead the way.
At the top of the technical systems ladder, TRW is in the optimum position to capture this intelligence and transfer it to this element of the market.
