Case Study: Autoliv improves quality control and SPC with AlisQI

Autoliv masters the quality of their life-saving products

Autoliv, a global leader in automotive safety systems such as airbags and seat belts, faced challenges with an error-prone and time-consuming manual quality control process. Their operators had to manually compare test results against specifications on a separate sheet, which was inefficient. They needed a more robust Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) with real-time process control capabilities and selected AlisQI to address this.

The vendor, AlisQI, implemented its production LIMS, which guided operators through test procedures with visual aids and immediate pass/fail feedback. The solution dramatically reduced data entry errors and saved time by automating label printing. The real-time data also enabled statistical process control for continuous improvement. As a result, Autoliv successfully rolled out AlisQI across over ten global plants, creating a vast, accessible database for quality analysis and Lean Six Sigma initiatives.
