Perceived Quality is a customer’s initial response of good or poor quality of a product, a gut feel. The perception of quality is influenced by the vehicle's attributes as well as what is important to the customer. The PQ process begins with benchmarking of competitive vehicles to identify positive and negative attributes that impact the customer’s initial impression. The best Executions, Materials & Designs found within the industry are captured and used as the foundation of the PQ requirements and as the basis for the PQ scoring system. The Perceived Quality (PQ) Team reviews and evaluates the Exterior and Interior digital images provided by the Simulation Team along with physical properties at each major milestone of a vehicle program for perceived quality attributes. These attributes include appearance, fit, surface quality, sound & operational quality, quality of materials, technology and lighting. Based on a structured rating method, which includes the competitive set, assessor compiles and presents a complete assessment report to be shared with Product Team Management to guide decisions early on in the development timeline of current and future model programs.
