According to Porsche more than two-thirds of all the cars it’s ever built are still driving today. The sportscar maker cites quality as “a typical trait” and it’s clear that the analysis centres and final audit areas at both Leipzig and the original plant at Zuffenhausen are key components of Porsche’s overall quality process.

The centres are important launch points, especially in production start-up of new vehicles as well as for detailed failure cause analysis for different parts.

The OEM’s goal is to have series production operating with optimum results right from the outset. “At Porsche, quality is the result of intensive work that is driven by a love for the perfect sports car in all of its phases and aspects. When it comes to quality topics, we study every little detail to its roots – that is what distinguishes Porsche,” says Albrecht Reimold, executive board member for production and logistics at Porsche.
