Doctoral degree candidate Jan Harmen Wiebenga of the University of Twente has come up with a solution for ensuring that fewer components manufactured in the automotive industry are rejected. The consequence of just a small percentage of reject products in the automotive sector is high costs. The method developed by Wiebenga, which is based on computer models, can result in significant savings. During testing on site at one of the industrial partners involved in the research, the method was even successful in halving the number of rejects.
