Battery component sourcing for Sweden
LIFA coordinated manufacturer qualification, PPAP and dimensional checks for a Swedish battery-component launch.
- The buyer
- A Gothenburg, Sweden automotive and electrification group.
- The product scope
- Battery cell components and busbars; 28 references, 1.2 million parts. Program value $6.9M.
What needed to change?
Electrification programs require IATF 16949 supply chains; the previous source failed the audit, risking the battery program's launch date.
How LIFA managed the work
We qualified 2 manufacturers with IATF 16949 certification.
We managed PPAP and control-plan development.
We implemented 100% dimensional verification on critical parts.
We built the logistics plan for just-in-time delivery.
Launch date met; zero PPM escalations in 12 months; the group extended the program to $8.4M for the next platform.

What this project shows
Supplier certification was one part of qualification. Control plans, critical-dimension verification and delivery timing supported the buyer's production launch.
