Automotive Industry Challenges and Solutions

The automotive industry is experiencing a paradigm shift: software-enabled product content rose from 20% to 80% in just four years while a similar shift occurred over 16 years in the communications industry. Automotive electronics developers face numerous key challenges including:

  • Rapidly changing requirements, driven by customer demand and competitor innovation
  • Difficulty managing relationships between OEM and multiple suppliers, with different interpretations of requirements
  • Ensuring high quality components and products, to avoid costly and reputation-damaging product recalls.

 

Support for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Software Development

An automated change management process, incorporating customer needs and requirements into the development process, can help the automotive industry increase quality and meet time-to-market objectives by keeping unwanted or unauthorized changes out of the product lifecycle.

Requirements Management increases communication and collaboration on requirements and designs between OEMs and suppliers ensuring that projects meet their milestones and deliverables conform to specification.

Automated generation of software for embedded systems and executable tests optimizes software development and software quality assurance. Extensive, automated design and code quality review capabilities enable the identification of modules bearing a high risk of failure.
