Development of a mapping system engineering approaches to classic product development processes of technical products: A work project of project management in product development
Project Work presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Information Systems and Technologies ManagementThe automotive industry faces the challenge of meeting customer requirements while ensuring
technological advancements, fast and cost-effective development, and high-quality production.
Information systems play a crucial role in efficiently designing internal processes and meeting
customer demands. Personalized solutions are increasingly adopted to cater to individual preferences
while maintaining up-to-date technology. Information systems are utilized to record and manage
customer requirements, optimize production processes, control inventories, and facilitate effective
communication between departments. Product data management (PDM) solutions are widely
employed, with 77% of automotive companies implementing them. PDM encompasses the storage
and management of data relevant to product development, supporting the entire product lifecycle. As
product complexity grows, efficient management of product data becomes essential, along with the
optimization of business processes to shorten development time and parallelize tasks. CAx
coordination, involving computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and engineering (CAE),
ensures smooth communication and coordination across the product development process. PDM
systems act as intermediaries between CAx coordination and enterprise resource planning systems,
facilitating seamless integration of design and manufacturing processes. Leading providers of
enterprise resource planning and CAD systems offer software solutions for product lifecycle
management and PDM, enabling centralized and accessible product information, streamlining
development and management processes
