While Maintaining World-Class Quality
Problems with a Bendix module will not be part of your
morning production meetings. By fully testing sub-systems
within a module, we can help ensure product quality levels
remain at or above their historic levels of 5.0 sigma. In over
six years of production, over a quarter-million ICM-style
modules shipped to customers have reached OEM’s on
time and in sequence.
