Abstract:

The systematic networking of engineering product and its underlying dynamic development process forms the solid basis of cross-domain change management and product/process optimization at any time during the development. In this article a model-based approach to efficiently integrate engineering product and process during passive safety system development within the vehicle electric/electronic (E/E) domain is proposed. The relevant parts of the system are modeled on their functional level while the corresponding development process is represented by taking into account the information flow between process steps as well as organization structures. By linking both domains, i.e. both models, given their interfaces and dependencies on different abstraction levels, the impacts of product/process changes on the process/product during all design stages are evaluated in either direction.
