Hyundai: Continuously Improving Quality
June 19, 2008 – 7:00 amThe car industry is jam packed with tough competitors. Staying ahead of the pack is a near impossible job. At Hyundai they ensure their own success by continuously improving their already high quality product.
Hyundai’s assembly plant in Alabama is one of the most advanced in the industry. It’s actually certified as one of the automotive plants with the highest operating standards in the world. Hyundai achieved this elevated status by insisting that each and every aspect of the plant incorporate state of the art technology as well as the latest in environmental advances.
The Sonata and Santa Fe models (built especially for the American market) come out of the Alabama plant. The assembly is handled by over 250 welding robots with complex optical sensors that guarantee tight welds and minimal panel gaps. The quality control is handled by more robots as well as an immediate road test following assembly completion.
That’s why every Hyundai Sonata and Hyundai Santa Fe leaves the Alabama plant with 2.3 miles on the odometer. When a car comes off the assembly line at the Hyundai Alabama plant it is immediately taken for a test drive on Hyundai’s own test track. It’s just one more way Hyundai is improving on a great product. Nobody wants unwanted surprises when it comes to their new car.
And no one wants to buy a car that has odd sounds and less than perfect function! Hyundai’s stringent quality control results in vehicles with seamless operation (which results in peace of mind for drivers). Buying a Hyundai means buying a car that consumers have learned to trust throughout the years, but it also means buying a car that employs the latest advances available in the industry.
An intention to improve quality of the product and increase customer satisfaction is admirable. But at Hyundai the intentions are followed by relevant and thorough action. Hyundai even conducts appropriate surveys to garner the information they need to improve their methods as they adjust to changing times. But when it comes right down to it; the public appreciates Hyundai’s dedication to improvement even when they’re at the top of their game. We all want the very best product imaginable and Hyundai is doing their best to provide it!
