29. Quality management by means of XFCD observation tours Example: TF1b 28.03.2006 21:05 To meet the high requirements of a premium service, a constant, automatic quality measurement and evaluation takes place which is based on defined quality scores for message and service quality. For that purpose, data from surveying and probe collecting tours by XFCD vehicles from BMW are summoned.
