QBCoP

(Quality Build approach for C/O Panels)

January, 2010
QBCOP- Introduction:

QBCOP is an innovative and cross-disciplinary function that delivers

faster realization of “design through build” at reduced overall cost.

The process involves the knowledge areas of

- Automotive Body quality,
- Design and Build engineering,
- and Advanced Digital engineering.

The success of QBCOP process thus involves a tight integration

of these disciplines leading to:

- Faster design-to-build timing

- Reduced cost of part/s and assembly validation (“as designed”
Vs. “as built”)

Basic methodology:
CAD data -A Point Cloud -A Point Cloud -B CAD data -B
(“as designed”) (“as built” Panel A) (“as built” Panel B) (“as designed”)

Steps to achieve “Build Quality”:

a) Data Capture:
- Data preparation (scanning of “as built” parts to capture dense 3D point data)

b) Data extraction and comparison:

- Point Cloud processing in relation to “as designed” CAD data
- Generate dimensional, form and profile geometry & specified measurements on individual
panels;

c) Digital assembly:
- Assemble two or more point clouds of physical panels and analyze their matching area for
gaps, flushness, profiles, relative hole position etc.,

d) Data output and reporting:

- Generate and compile the reports in desired formats

e) Problem identification and solution:

- The reports generated in step-d clearly shows the problem areas. Analyze the results
based on domain experience with case based reasoning to initiate the correction of parts
by tooling modification.
