SPM (Reliability management) networking groups

Technological development is accelerating rapidly. It requires significant resources to keep up. SPM supports your company in utilizing available opportunities. Reinventing the wheel every time is not necessary. By participating in a network, companies can access accumulated experience and also share their own insights with others. Around 60 companies have done so as members of SPM.

Joint effort

SPM is an association for electronics and mechatronics companies, suppliers of materials and components for electronics, and for the many companies that use electronics in their products. Participation in SPM provides a strong and important foundation for companies' efforts to maintain competitiveness, ensure market access, and safeguard product safety, thereby reducing the risk of product liability cases. Through a joint effort, companies can achieve more from limited research and development resources.

SPM’s activities are intended to provide all member companies with new knowledge and experience. The activities are initiated by the members and organized to ensure that all members have influence through the designated contact person in the company.

The main activities of the association are:

• Sharing experiences in working groups (erfa-groups)
• Conducting studies (SPM projects)

Networking is one of the most effective ways to stay updated within a specific specialist field. In SPM’s networking groups, specialists from member companies meet according to the group’s theme. Groups consist of 10–25 participants. Meetings are held as needed, typically 3–4 times per year.

SPM runs the following networking groups:

• Group 5: Compliance Engineering
