CMMI

Driving Factors

• As Virtual Product Development is becoming mainstream …–companies are looking to rate their

processes against industry leaders– companies are looking to apply tools

for quality control and continuous improvement

– companies are looking for the “how” as well as the “what”

54 PDM/Enterprise systems integration

UNIQUE

• VPD should be quality focused• Capture and reuse of virtual prototype

data is still problematic• Better virtual prototype data must be

produced to make product design & release decisions

• Infrastructure improvements are required

• Desire to use virtual prototyping as part of an overall risk management strategy

• Need to further simulate product usage uncertainties and manufacturing process variations

• More tool integration to support better physical and virtual tests

• Improved model validation - build long term confidence

UNIQUE

• Develop plug-and-play component and subsystem models to optimize system performance

• More tool integration to support better collaboration between designers and analysts

• Continue transition from paper based processes to full use of electronic media

• Enhance communications and bi-directional product data sharing with customers and suppliers
