Claim Management

Claim Management

Recalls, product defects, field issues or serial failures often lead to substantial OEM claims within a short period of time. However, suppliers frequently lack the transparency, data foundation or contractual clarity required to assess these claims in a technically, commercially and legally robust manner.

Automotive Quality Consulting supports Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers in systematically assessing claims, building sound technical and commercial arguments, and successfully negotiating with OEMs — through to final resolution.
