[Source : Volvo intranet] Typeset in LATEX Gothenburg, Sweden 2019 iv Abstract The competition is tremendously tough in the premium sector of the automotive industry. The demand is high on having thoughtful designs in every part of the vehicle and achieving zero defects is simply not enough. The customer plays an important role and has a big influence on the perceived quality of the car. Volvo Cars has developed an interest in making their current top tether, which is the part of an ISOFIX system used to connect a forward-facing child seat in a car, stand out from the crowd and give an impression of premium design. To assist Volvo in making that happen, this thesis work has been carried out and aimed to discover the framework for how to develop a premium top tether.
