Combating complexity with model-based development

System and software life-cycle management processes and tools that encompass all phases of the product, from concept to end of life, are essential to meet today's innovation and quality demands.

Software has effectively become the driving force of innovation in commercial vehicles and, in particular, provides the foundation of design in mechatronic systems. Acceleration of innovation for the commercial vehicle industry requires that a number of common challenges related to quality, complexity, predictability, collaboration, and compliance be addressed.

These challenges are all interrelated; successfully managing them will help ensure the organization achieves and sustains innovation, while failure in one or more of these areas can negatively impact the entire development life cycle.
