Hyundai: Higher and Higher Quality

by Jana Kingman

The car industry is jam packed with tough competitors. Staying ahead of the pack is a near impossible job. At Hyundai they ensure their own success by continuously improving their already high quality product.

Hyundai’s Alabama plant is one example of their dedication to constantly improving quality. They created one of the most state of the art automotive assembly plants in the industry. It has been recognized as one of the automotive plants with the highest operating standards in the world.

The Alabama plant is responsible for the new Sonata and Santa Fe models, built especially for the American market. More than 250 welding robots (with additional robots checking the work of the welding robots) meticulously ensure with complex optical sensors that welds are tight and panel gaps are minimal. In addition to the stringent assembly methods used at the plant, every vehicle produced at the Hyundai plant in Alabama benefits from road testing.

So don’t attempt to find a Hyundai Sonata or Hyundai Santa Fe with a zeroed out odometer. If you find one, there’s something strange going on because every vehicle leaves the Alabama plant with 2.3 miles on the odometer. Immediately after coming off the assembly line, every vehicle is taken for a road test on Hyundai’s special test track. All this ensures that everything on new Hyundai models is working as intended; no unexplainable rattles or unidentifiable squeaks.

And no one wants to buy a car that has odd sounds and less than perfect function! Hyundai’s stringent quality control results in vehicles with seamless operation (which results in peace of mind for drivers). Buying a Hyundai means buying a car that consumers have learned to trust throughout the years, but it also means buying a car that employs the latest advances available in the industry.

An intention to improve quality of the product and increase customer satisfaction is admirable. But at Hyundai the intentions are followed by relevant and thorough action. Hyundai even conducts appropriate surveys to garner the information they need to improve their methods as they adjust to changing times. But when it comes right down to it; the public appreciates Hyundai’s dedication to improvement even when they’re at the top of their game. We all want the very best product imaginable and Hyundai is doing their best to provide it!
