AUTOMOTIVE iNTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT - ENGINEERING MADE SMART
In automotive E/E development, you encounter numerous – even diverging – expectations, requirements, regulations, standards, and activities, for example, project management, configuration management, on the one hand, Automotive SPICE®, functional safety, cybersecurity, SOTIF, and user experience on the other hand. We integrate all these activities across your product lifecycle, taking into account their perspectives. With 'Automotive integrated Development', you dispose of a blueprint of an integrated E/E development.
INTEGRATED E/E DEVELOPMENT - THIS MEANS WE:
- Start with the requirements that dictate your area of business to develop concepts that will empower you to fulfill these requirements
- Identify, assess and improve workflows, organizational structures, roles, methods and the resulting company culture - all within the context
- Think in terms of business units and departments, involving all stakeholders
- Support staff and provide detailed training
- Assess and take into account different guidelines (especially conflicting ones) relating to innovation capabilities, goal orientation, commercial viability, adaptability, durability, and maintainability - all within the context of your requirements. To do this, we apply process and reference models such as Automotive SPICE and agile methods. Always taking the framework conditions such as cybersecurity and functional safety into account.
INTERVIEW WITH CHRISTIAN HERTNECK
In our interview with Christian Hertneck, you will learn how to take advantage of the blueprint for an integrated development lifecycle to ensure transparency and always perform the required activities at the right time.
PROCEDURAL MODELS, STANDARDS AND METHODS WITHIN AiD
AUTOMOTIVE SPICE®
Automotive SPICE® has become the de facto industry standard for developing automotive electronics. By using this reference model you can systematically improve your processes and assess the status of your projects. To develop mechatronic systems on an integrated basis, there are also extensions for these domains.
AUTOMOTIVE CYBERSECURITY ADHERING TO ISO 21434 AND UNECE
To shield connected vehicles from external attacks and protect vehicle infrastructures, you need to install end-to-end safeguards that address all factors with a bearing on vehicle cybersecurity: the product itself, processes and IT systems.
FUNCTIONAL SAFETY ADHERING TO ISO 26262
Applying the principles of functional safety allows you to avoid malfunctions occurring in electronic systems that might have a bearing on vehicle safety and present a hazard to people. ISO 26262:2018 is the recognized method for doing this.
AUTOMOTIVE AGILE
Agility refers to the ability of a company to adapt to changing parameters in such a way that it is always ready to react if there is a change in customer requirements. We help you become agile, step by step.
SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
The AiD blueprint also includes indispensable systems engineering virtues, from project management and quality assurance to configuration management.
CMMI
CMMI® is an established reference model, offering you a structured approach that is not just useful when enhancing and controlling how you develop or procure software, but also when improving and managing hardware, mechatronic systems and services.
WE CAN SUPPORT YOU WITH:
- Integrated improvement programmes in every area of the development function in your business, from a team level to the entire business unit – linking throughout to the supply chain
- Individual concepts for your organisational structures and workflows, ensuring everything is a good fit with the requirements of and within your company
- Methods based on different models, not only building on personal experience including best practices, but also meeting industry standards
- Assessments, audits and evaluations aimed at understanding the current status within your development functions
- Training and coaching sessions to allow your employees to apply the required know-how to deal with actual situations encountered in business
