| The quality of a vehicle manifests itself in many ways, for example in the attention paid to the width of the gap between individual sheetmetal segments, to the way headlamp elements seamlessly hug the fender or the "thump" a door makes when it shuts. All of these are subtle yet perceptive indicators of the car's quality even to non-technical people, and even an untrained eye will immediately notice if something does not sit perfectly. |

| The Metrology Department at the Dresden plant is in charge of assuring the perfect fit. The department calibrates and sets the production tools and conduct the initial inspection of the subassembly and bodyshells. In addition, they perform analysis measurements to determine how various external parts fit to one another. In short, the Metrology Department keeps all these different processes stable and well within tolerances. |
