Introduction to Automotive Product Design & development

The Automotive product development process is based on he Mechanical design and development process

Starting from product planning to Detail Design

This course will cover the key aspects of these stages and key activities carried out along with major milestones

Concepts covered

• Concept of Concurrent engineering and how teams are formed in cross functional setup

• Major milestones at each stage

• The nature of product development and types of product development

• How concepts are developed and differences between industrial design and engineering design

• What are ergonomic analyses and H point . Importance in establishing the concept

• What is Vehicle architecture and types of Vehicle construction and types of Suspension used in different types of vehicles

• What are vehicle platforms and modular designs . Importance of standardization

• Activities in Systems design - Interfaces and Integration of complex systems

• Activities in Detail design phase including DFMEA, DVP preparation and Concern resolution

• What is BOM ,PLM and engineering release

The Main outcome of the course is to develop a holistic understanding of the whole process from idea to production level design

The course is useful for Design engineering aspirants in automotive domain or for anyone interested in gaining insights how automobiles are developed in industry .
