New product development (NPD) is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale. In the automotive industry, within the context of ISO/TS16949:2002 (the automotive quality management system international standard),  these related to the product realization process (PRP) which consists of Three main phases such as planning, Implem...

This paper describes several on-going projects on the design, development, and prototyping of automotive control systems. These projects include both Senior Design Projects, as part of the automotive sensing and control curriculum development, as well as research-level projects on advanced control methodologies for automotive systems using Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). These projects have b...

The demands for automobiles increased drastically in last two and half decades in India. Many global automobile manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers have already set up research, development and manufacturing facilities in India. The Indian automotive component industry started implementing Lean practices to fulfill the demand of these customers. United Nations Industrial Development Organization...

As nowadays’ forward logistics of automobile industry have been developed in a good stage, according to various car manufacturers; third-party logistics companies are more concerned about the car forward logistics. However, with the mature of automotive consumer market competition, innovation and the rise of global environmental awareness, the car reverse logistics must be given due attention a...

Modern vehicles consist of many interconnected, software-based IT components which are tested very carefully for correct functional behavior to avoid safety problems, e.g. that the brakes suddenly stop working. However, in contrast to safety testing systematic testing against potential security gaps is not yet a common procedure within the automotive domain. This however could eventually enable...

The automotive industry is experiencing a remarkable move from the internal combustion engine (ICE) to an all-electric power platform. This natural shift essentially supported by electric drive development where wide-bandgap (WBG) materials are at center of this transformation. gallium nitride (GaN)- or silicon carbide (SiC)-based electronics taking place due theoretical limits Si MOSFETs that ...

Security research and teaching using cyber-physical systems (e.g., automotive networks) is challenging because of the need to replicate the interactions between the hardware components and the control software of the systems. These interactions are challenging to replicate because of the dynamic inputs in real-world environments that cause various interactions of the hardware components and con...

In many industries such as automotive industry, there are a lot of suppliers dealing with the final products manufacturer. With growing numbers of suppliers, the suppliers’ efficiency measurement often becomes the most significant concern for manufacturers. Therefore, various performance measurement models such as DEA, AHP, TOPSIS, are developed to support supplier selection decisions. After an...

Considering the present business competitive scenario, the automotive industry is under pressure to achieve higher productivity. A high level of performance and quality standard could be achieved through improving the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the equipment in an automotive industry. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the performance measurement through OEE theory in a...
