Volvo in Indias quality system is based on the ISO 9001 & EMS 14001 standards, but in
fact goes beyond the requirements of the international standards. A few examples that
reflect the quality work:
n All suppliers must meet Volvo Truck Corporations requirements. Suppliers are
responsible for delivering components of the right quality and must abide by our quality
systems. Today, some of the suppliers to Volvo in India not only match Volvos globalquality standards but are also ranked among the best in the world.
n All trucks undergo diagnostic tests for all truck functions with the help of a special
program Prosit executed through a computer.
n Every truck goes through a check on the Volvo test track at the factory. High-tech
equipment is in use to ensure topclass production. An example is the laserguided
alignment of the axles on trucks as well as trailers.
n Specially trained employees check up the entire vehicle to spot any quality issue
before the truck leaves the factory. Product audit is a common process for all Volvo
factories, thus also making it easy to benchmark them with each other.
n Tools and equipment in the factory are calibrated at defined intervals. No matter whom
you meet in the factory, quality will be on top of his mind.
