Serviceability has become a major design criteria at General Motors so that product standards parallel the rising level of consumer expectations. Eight areas of design consideration are explored: Replaceability, repairability, accessibility, diagnosability, maintainability, washability, towability, and liftability. This paper gives rationale for serviceability standards among auto manufacturers and suppliers alike.
