Book Synopsis Introducing New Materials in the Automotive Industry by : Fredrik Henriksson
Download or read book Introducing New Materials in the Automotive Industry written by Fredrik Henriksson and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passenger vehicles are central to Western society, and contribute to a significant part of our greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce emissions, the automotive industry as a whole is working to reduce mass in passenger vehicles in order to reduce energy consumption. One way to reduce mass is to introduce lightweight materials in the body of the vehicle. This research aims to explore the relationship between product and production system when introducing new materials. Besides a theoretical review and an industry-centered technological mapping, four case studies have been conducted during the course of this licentiate thesis. Two case studies were conducted with engineering design students working as development teams, one case study with the author as the developer and finally one case study in an industrial environment at a product owning company with in-house production. The goal of the case studies has been to increase the collective knowledge of how product development decisions affect production development decisions, and vice versa, when developing passenger vehicles in new materials. In the following analysis of case study outcomes, a number of factors important for introducing new materials are discussed. The relationship between product and production is investigated, both in terms of how the production system affects the product and how the product affects the production system. The outcome from this analysis is a mapping of important factors for automotive industry companies to understand and identify when looking at introducing new materials in existing production systems. Finally, a suggestion for future research efforts is presented.

Book Synopsis Optimizing Automotive Electrical Distribution Systems Design and Development by Reducing Design Iterations by : Jonathan Eduardo Cuata Cervantes
Download or read book Optimizing Automotive Electrical Distribution Systems Design and Development by Reducing Design Iterations written by Jonathan Eduardo Cuata Cervantes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design and development (D&D) of electrical distribution systems (EDS) is a practice that has been performed in the automotive industry for more than 100 years. The amount of technology infusion in vehicles within this history impacts the design and development of electrical distribution systems in an exponential manner. The electrical architecture of a vehicle increases in complexity with every new product launched into the market. The number of interactions and interdependencies between design and development activities, and across functional groups, has been increasing as a consequence of the constant innovation in the vehicle electrical architecture. These interdependencies and interactions with design and development tasks and cross functional groups generate potential design iterations and rework loops that have direct impacts on the cost, scope and schedule of automotive projects. This research has a fundamental purpose, the review of the electrical distribution systems design and development process inside an automotive OEM through the use of (1) traditional and modern project management tools, (2) surveys and interviews inside the OEM EDS organization, and (3) a review of product development literature, in order to identify recommendations to reduce unplanned design iterations and rework generated by the nonlinear nature of automotive product development. While the analyses, summary and recommendations are specific to EDS product development, it is hoped that the use of both traditional and modern project management tools described in this thesis can serve as a model for those in other industries.

Book Synopsis A Comprehensive Approach to Complex System Product Development by : Muhammad Jehanzeb Noor
Download or read book A Comprehensive Approach to Complex System Product Development written by Muhammad Jehanzeb Noor and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) An investigation of issues experienced at product launch shows that programs with CSIs have fewer design- related problems during launch, but that CSIs still spend too much time on Design and Release-type tasks for components (instead of a system focus) and fire-fighting. An extensive organizational study reveals the need for more leverage and clearer roles and responsibilities of CSIs. Conclusions on the process are supported by a simulation model and interviews with CSIs and many other engineers. Simulation results also show that adherence to official product development schedules timing is inherently difficult due to the structure of the as-is PD process. A brief comparison to Toyota's closures design process is also part of the thesis but was not part of the project itself. Recommendations for improvement include a set of design tasks that should be standardized, types of analytical tools that should be developed and managerial practices to be followed.

Download or read book Simultaneous Engineering for New Product Development written by Jack Ribbens and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-02-14 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated, highly practical approach to product developmentusing simultaneous engineering Industrial engineers and designers as well as managers working on new product development (NPD) typically do not have the time or the expertise to get involved in functions outside their immediate area. Yet the very nature of NPD requires a number of functions and processes to be performed concurrently. This is where simultaneous engineering comes in. Simultaneous Engineering for New Product Development offers state-of-the-art, integrated coverage of these two hot topics in manufacturing. Industry expert Jack Ribbens draws on firsthand experience with the successful application of simultaneous engineering in the automotive industry, discussing how this approach can help streamline the entire development and production process, resulting in high-quality, competitive goods. He examines all phases of the process, devoting a chapter to each key element-from market research to design and engineering to manufacturing, selling, and customer service and support. And while most books on concurrent engineering stress the theoretical aspects of the field, Ribbens's book is decidedly practical, complete with case studies from the automotive, aerospace, heavy vehicle, and electronic industries that can be applied to any manufactured product. With mathematical model development as well as useful graphs, checklists, and references, Simultaneous Engineering for New Product Development will help manufacturing professionals take advantage of new trends and technologies in manufacturing well into the twenty-first century.
