Towards a Systems Engineering based Automotive Product Engineering Process

Deficit and redundancies in existing automotive product development hinder a systems engineering based development. In this paper we discuss a methodical procedure to eliminate deficits in the current product development and in turn to enable the introduction of a new systems engineering based development methodology. As the core part of our approach, we discuss how to transform an opaque heterogeneous product development to a homogenous consistent product development taking into account existing disciplines. Our approach paves the way to achieve a process structure that is more amenable to verification and validation. We show the effectiveness of our proposed solution approach on an automotive use case.
