Our aim was to lay the groundwork in the infotainment sector so that we could demonstrate our development and manufacturing expertise to BMW. QMH Consulting provided us with crucial support in this regard – particularly with the system audit, which was essential for taking part in the tender process.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about collaboration in the field of FMEA
We already have FMEA documents. Could you review them?
Yes – our audit services can be booked independently. Whether you have set up the system in-house, are working with another partner, or wish to maintain an existing certificate: we step in as and when required and carry out audits professionally, impartially and in accordance with the relevant standards.
Why should I have FMEA facilitated externally instead of internally?
Facilitating an FMEA requires methodological rigour, impartiality and experience – particularly when dealing with complex processes or diverse teams. External facilitation minimises friction, keeps the analysis on track and produces transparent results that stand up to both audit scrutiny and practical application.
How do standards remain in place after the project?
We provide targeted training for your FMEA cosultants. Our training courses are structured around specific roles: developers, quality managers, facilitators and managers each receive the content they actually need – highly relevant to their own day-to-day work and with a focus on practical application rather than theory.
What software solution can you work with?
Our consultants are well-versed in a wide variety of tool environments, including not only standard tools such as APIS and PLATO but also OEM-specific solutions. We adapt to your software structure, provide expert feedback on usability and, if required, also support you through tool changes or implementations.
Can international teams take part in training?
Yes. We offer training courses in German or English, including remote or hybrid options. We tailor the materials, practical examples and case studies to your target audience – suitable for use worldwide and consistent in their approach.
