7Joint architecture development programs
Comprehensive approaches to platform development process may
become “monolithic” and, if this occurs, they present many drawbacks
Since platform development scope should span over 2 vehicle
lifecycles, an enhanced flexibility and modularity is helpful in
optimizing investment
reducing costs and engineering expenses
The need for flexibility is further enhanced with regard to joint
architecture development programs, in which the partners wish to
differentiate on subsystems that affect customers’ perception of the
vehicle
PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES
8Joint architecture development programs
Two ways of addressing modularity needs
Disentanglement of some portions of the process
P.S.C. (Component Development Platform)
“Impostazione” Process
Definition of a perimeter of systems/subsystems
that can be harmonized
that have enough flexibility to last for 2 lifecycles or - at least – capable to
be easily adapted to future requirements

VEHICLE LINE EXECUTIVE
GM EUROPE
In some cases, vehicle development process re-design - that was underway in
Fiat before the start of joint projects - helped the convergence on process
For instance the role of Platform director in Fiat was already aligned with the
GME one
Nevertheless, process and standards alignment is still one of the main
barriers that Fiat-GM joint development programs are currently facing

CORPORATE CULTURE, LANGUAGE, ISP
Team building events, conducted with the support
of Parent Co. HR departments, are helpful tools to
share project members’ experiences
For Fiat-GM joint programs language represented a
big issue;
