Abstract: A method for standardizing a plurality of motor vehicles may include determining a characteristic value of an individual vehicle (50) based on transmission data for the individual vehicle from a data gathering device (6) associated with the individual vehicle. The transmission data for the individual vehicle may be associated with shifting characteristics of a transmission of the individual vehicle for at least one of an operation interval of the individual vehicle or a mileage of the individual vehicle. Additionally, the method may include assigning the individual vehicle to one of a plurality of profiles (10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) of a classification (10) based at least in part on a magnitude of the characteristic value. The classification may be determined based at least in part on average values and a magnitude and frequency of deviations from the average values of transmission data gathered for a plurality of vehicles (5).

Abstract: A method for the automated identification of a product defect of a product and/or for the automated identification of a product defect cause of the product defect, includes producing the product from a plurality of product elements via a plurality of manufacturing steps, and gathering a number n of items of test information by at least one product test, wherein the n items of test information form an n-dimensional test value. The method also includes carrying out a dimension reduction of the n-dimensional test value by at least one statistics process to obtain a dimension-reduced test value, comparing the dimension-reduced test value with a multitude of learned reference values, assigning the dimension-reduced test value to at least one group of reference values that are similar to each other, and identifying, in an automated manner, the product defect and/or the product defect cause on the basis of the assignment.
