Quality Assurance prior to Serial Application - Project Planning

Project Planning

The quality work in the automotive industry has strongly decentralized, been extended to all expert areas of a company and runs, especially during the development phase, simultaneously (Simultaneous Engineering). Volume 4.3 represents a supplement and expansion to this, as it places emphasis on the uniform description of a project process for new products and processes. The aim hereby is to prepare and plan all measures necessary to achieve performance that satisfies the customer, systematically and at an early stage.

The described procedure is characterized by:

• uniform project management
• simultaneous processing of different functions (SE)
• connection of functions through common project management for product and process development
• team work in SE teams
• Controlling through relatively frequent hold points (Milestones).

The volume explains the general process of a project based on a given plan which gives a summary of the functions to be carried out and the results to be checked at the "Milestones" during the process.
