Speed matters
Increasingly rapid model successions and a vastly extended model range over the last few years has forced the entire automobile industry meet considerably shorter development times.
High speed and flexibility are also required in the production, since car manufacturing today is becoming more and more a build-to-order process. Highly variable production, however, also is not without risk for those carrying only minimal stock levels: If the supply chain is broken, this can lead to a production standstill - everything depends on smooth-running logistics processes.
Since all production processes - including the flow of information that accompanies them - have to function across the whole company, data handling poses one of the biggest challenges to the industry. This also includes configuration management of the different software versions for automotive components.
A further problem area: Field failures. They plague the automotive industry and have a large impact on the make's image. The biggest problem here is in the area of electrics/electronics. A number of forecasts show that by 2008 almost two thirds of all breakdowns will be caused by electronic defects. Manufacturers must therefore turn their attention to innovations that can help reduce the number of field failures.
