Automotive development processes: processes for successful customer oriented vehicle development

The book – based on the corresponding graduate course the author held at Clemson University, South Carolina – is a comprehensive, practically oriented presentation of the vehicle development processes. Based on the key question of the product strategy ("Which factors guarantee the product development’s success?") it characterizes the contents of the different stages, roles and activities during the product development process, the application of project management methods and the networking with suppliers – enriched with the author’s professional expertise. In contrast to the already available textbooks on vehicle development this publication is focused on the integration processes of the overall vehicle development, which means the "orchestration" of the single components for the strategic implementation of customer relevant characteristics of the completed product and to a lesser extent on the optimization of the vehicle components. Shows actual procedures and workflows in global product development concerning high-complex products Deep insight in real development processes, discussing pros and cons Focus on implementing customer-relevant product properties by complete vehicle integration INDICE: Vehicle Development Projects - an Overview.- Product Strategy.- Phases of the Product Evolution Process.-Virtual Car Process.- E/E System Development.- Management Processes for Complete Vehicle Development.- Primary or Customer Relevant Complete Vehicle Characteristics.- Secondary Complete Vehicle Characteristics.- Abbreviations.- Index.
