Abstract:
In the context of module based car development, standard modules face large uncertainties during their integration into the development process of the car. This leads to the need for a high robustness of standard modules. Therefore, a method is presented to optimize robustness on the technical side. In addition to the technical perspective, the human role is considered. This paper aims at identifying the demands of the method on designers as well as the designer’s requirement on the method. The discrepancy between these two demands determines the robustness of the process. Hence, robustness is evaluated holistically, including both the technical and the process side considering the human factor.
