“What can we do instead in order to keep our quality control level?”
When sourcing bearings globally, regular audits and factory visits are highly important for supplier quality control. However, while the pandemic inhibits international travel, one needs other approaches since the current situation must not lead to a lack of quality.
Here, rapid testing of bearings can be a valid alternative. Putting a small number of samples on a test rig and applying high loads and speeds will yield a first impression on the capabilities of the supplier. Especially for small bearings, this can be less costly than an intercontinental business trip under normal circumstances.
More insights about this topic will be shared during the presentation “Development of Bearing Suppliers and Quality Control during Purchasing” by Hagen Elgeti.
Please feel free to join this presentation on 15 – 18 March at the Bearing Expo & B2B Meetings event. Apart from that, you can always contact Hagen Elgeti from Elgeti Engineering for your individualized advice.
