APQP PPAP Documentation Solutions

In the automotive supply chain, 75% of the spreadsheets and silo-based, client-server applications lack standardization, which hindered the customer's global growth objectives. It was the goal of an Automotive Supplier that specialized in Lighting Solutions, serving all major OEMs, to identify a global partner with an understanding of APQP software who could integrate APQP / PPAP documentation into a single-window software solution. Moreover, a solution that provides global implementation and training services. A simple, easy-to-configure solution that can be easily integrated into all of their facilities, worldwide, must also be centrally controlled. It is a revolutionary software suite of integrated management systems called EwQIMS®. This comprehensive suite of web-based software tools encompasses all aspects of quality management within your business, allowing you to run all your business quality operations. EwQIMS contains an integrated set of web-based software tools. Downlo...

Implementing ISO 26262 Together with SOTIF

  ISO 21448 (SOTIF) is currently in a committee draft (CD) form and work is underway to become a DIS later this year. Although many SOTIF processes can be aligned with corresponding ISO 26262 processes, there are unique SOTIF processes such as functional modifications to reduce risk and functional safety assessment. Several issues involving the joint implementation of ISO 26262 and SOTIF will be discussed.   This article discusses in detail the below listed points: Ø   Introduction Ø   Necessity of SOTIF Ø   Integrated Implementation Strategy Ø   Synergies & interactions Ø   Implementation issues Ø   Use Case – Lidar based perception system Ø   ISO 26262 aspects Ø   SOTIF aspects   Additional learning features from the article: Ø   ASIL – Automotive Safety Integrity Levels Ø   HARA – Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment Ø   The V shaped slide – FuSa Scheme The article also discusse...

Considerations of Functional Safety, Automotive SPICE, and Cybersecurity in Automotive New-Product Development

Image
Product design in autonomous and electric vehicles requires a product architecture of systems, subsystems, hardware, and software, as well as requirements management and the “Engineering V.” Electronics, hardware, and software in the product also necessitate new software standards. Automotive SPICE, a software capability standard required by many OEMs, has the voice of the customer translated into system architectural requirements, which flow down to system requirements, then to software architecture, next to software requirements, and finally into unit requirements. As the requirements flow down, customers, suppliers, sub suppliers must work closely together because product development of Functional Safety, SOTIF, Cyber Security , and AIAG-VDA FMEA demands linked development.   Organizations in the automotive industry, and other sectors such as steel, plastics, and semiconductors, have been heavily influenced by automotive industry standards and practices like IATF 16949, advanced...
