As innovation cycles for new technology products accelerate, markets also demand more complex products with a highly individualized design. Particularly, electric cars represent this case and complexity is not only driven by product variants, but also by an increasing proportion and importance of software applications in value creation. However, the reference processes to develop these automotive...
Producing companies for electric traction engines used in electric cars are faced with new challenges as production volumes and market demands change frequently. Missing standards in the product and production development process itself increase the expenses for development and production of an electric engine. As 70% of the product costs are determined by the product development and still generated...
Manufacturers of electric vehicles face the difficult challenge to adjust proper production systems, facilities and technologies. The market is developing (regulations, policies and new competitors) and today's small volumes could increase fast, so that today's production systems might no longer be reasonable. This paper illustrates the necessity of transformable production technologies regarding...
Industry is faced with increasing product variety, technical complexity and shortened product life cycles today. In spite of these increasing challenges consumers are not willing to pay for risen efforts. Industry relies on effective and efficient management and coordination of the departments involved across company and supply chain during all phases of product and process development. Modular Production...
In the automotive industry alternative powertrains cause a wide spread of knowledge and a growing importance of varied disciplines. Consequently, research unveils a disruption of established relations and an emergence of new kinds of decentralized developments encouraging our research. This paper introduces a networked development project which has attracted considerable attention in science and practice...
The future demand for Lithium-Ion-Cells is definitely going to increase. The main part accelerating the development is the cell production for electric cars. In order to gain more market share it is necessary to build up high-quality machines and connect them to an efficient process. Problematic for this target is the diverse process chain. An international survey showed that most companies are focused...
