    Addressing complexity for automotive software and systems engineers – Today’s cars have about 30,000 parts and more than 100 million lines of code1 – To cope with rising product complexity and crushing amounts of data, teams must embrace the cloud to maintain a competitive edge – 47% of failed projects are due to poor requirements2 Three key areas are driving the digital transformation in automotive engineering Product complexity Data, data, data A connected, smart car is generating large amounts of data, while processing data from external sources such as weather and traffic. It’s not just interacting with other drivers, but also exchanging data with other connected devices such as smart phones, watches, connected homes, workplaces and other connected spaces. Today’s cars are required to have built-in data intake and processing capabilities, along with on-board analytics. Such data capabilities require advanced electronics and software, which in turn drives up product development complexity. More software than hardware Computerization of vehicles has been long underway, but the requirements for smart cars are a paradigm shift in how the products are designed and engineered. Today’s smart cars are packed with processing power which requires millions of lines of code to function properly. The situation is getting more complex as we head towards autonomous driving. A myriad of systems are being controlled by software, that haves to perform flawlessly while delivering a pleasurable occupant experience. As the complexity of product design increases, the reliance on modern engineering and development processes becomes increasingly crucial. Digitally managing requirements For an organization to be successful, it needs to deliver results.

  • Engineering Change Management in Automotive Industry
    Engineering Change Management in the Automotive Industry – When are you Finally Market Ready? Abstract The automotive industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in terms of scale, revenue as well as processes and is also considered to be one of the largest drivers of economic growth across the globe. This is an industry that has its fulcrum not just on the strength of its manufacturing processes and engineering capabilities, but also on the strength of its parts procurement, assembly lines, supplier and distribution networks, quality testing, etc. to name just a few. Before a vehicle is ready for the market, it goes through various stages and investments that are to the tune of millions of dollars even for the prototype. While all automotive industry manufacturers aim to make their end product the perfect one, both in terms of safety as well as efficiency across parameters, the road to perfection does involve many changes. It could be either in the design, the performance criteria, the aesthetics, or the manufacturing methods and could sometimes be as simple as the design of the seats or as big as the efficacy of the ABS. These changes would in turn have an impact on the life cycle of the product, its competitive advantage, as well as its market readiness. This paper explores the effect that change can have on the automotive industry and analyses how the ECM process could make or break the success of the automobile and its manufacturer. 1.

  • You're Not Going to Get There from Here
    You’re Not Going to Get There From Here The race to reinvent the process for developing connected and autonomous vehicles By Joe Barkai, Chairman of SAE’s Vehicle IoT Committee and author of “The Outcome Economy” “We see more change in the next five years than there’s been in the last 50.” Dan Ammann, President of General Motors (and numerous others…) THE RACE TO REINVENT THE PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING CONNECTED AND AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES Forward-looking automakers are recognizing how the convergence of technology, business, and societal trends is transforming the automotive industry, posing an unprecedented level of new opportunities as well as unfamiliar threats. These manufacturers have already begun to refine their structure and processes to embrace the changes, face the threats, and build organizations that can deliver on the ever- changing possibilities for new mobility solutions for customers. INDUSTRY IN FLUX Just over 100 years ago, Henry Ford disrupted the auto industry of the time with the introduction of the mass-production moving assembly line. To say that the auto industry is again in flux is almost cliché. Most everyone is aware of the massive changes the industry is undergoing, although the cumulative long-term effect of rapid technology innovation, disruptive business models, and evolving supply chain ecosystems is probably not yet fully comprehended. Vehicle technology is undergoing rapid change, requiring a new approach to design engineering and the management of the supply chain. The opaque and inefficient systems and processes used to design and manufacture cars today will not carry the industry forward into its next century.
