The Product and Process Development consists of 6 phases as shown in figure 1. At the end of each phase
the successful achievement will be controlled by a milestone review under the responsibility of the Project
Leader and according PREDVP220.
The Product and Process Development starts in overlap with the Offer Phase after the approval to quote by
the Management. This decision happens most likely after having received a request for quotation from a
Customer or a potential Customer and the positive evaluation of the opportunity by the Sales Department.
The formal start of the Product and Process Development is often named Start of Development (SOD) and
allows to perform phase1 “Technical Offer and Quotation” of the Product and Process Development.
An offer project leader and an offer project team is appointed for phase 1 and during this phase the
Customer specifications will be analyzed and the initial concept of the product and the process will be
st
defined and the 1 project plan will be developed. The Costs of the product but also the development effort
will be evaluated to support the Quotation and all technical documents will be created needed to submit an
offer fitting to the Customer requirements. Main target of this phase is to obtain the Customer nomination.
With the Customer nomination or an authorization by the Management the Project Leader and the project
team will be confirmed and the detailed design of product and process starts. The activities go over several
phases from the “Concept Development” over “Product and Process Design” and “Product and Process
Industrialization” and end with the Customer approvals for product and process during the phase “Product
and Process Approval”.
Main target of the phases is to detail product and process in a way that the result is compliant with the
Customer requirements and that it can be produced under mass production conditions. At the same time the
responsibility for manufacturing and logistic processes will be transferred to the manufacturing location.
The final phase of the Product and Process Development is the phase 6 “Production Ramp-up” to close
latest issues on performance, to set contractual production capacity and to achieve the negotiated volume.
Main target of this phase is to finish the transfer of the responsibility to the manufacturing plant and to close
the development project.

During this phase an offer project leader and an offer team will be established to verify the Customer
requirements to secure the feasibility. Template in IOEDVP200B has to be used for the constitution.
Approval from the responsible of each line function is needed.
Not all Customers have detailed requirements specifications at the time of the RFQ. The missing information
will be collected by interactive methods (questionnaire, technical meetings).
Several departments are involved to secure that all aspects are considered as a base for the evaluation of
the requirements.
A preliminary High-level (level 1) schedule of the project compliant to the Customer target milestones and the
internal product development process will be built.
The offer team is building in consideration of these inputs and experience from past projects a product and
process concept which will be the base for the cost estimation.
At the end of phase 2.1 and in case the development will continue (business nomination by Customer or
Management decision to continue) the offer team will be converted into a project team. Likely additional
resources will be defined and the updated project organization will be published in the team chart which has
been approved by the responsible of each line function using the formalized team chart according
IOEDVP200B.
During this phase the detailed product and process concept will be developed.
The Concept Development starts with the Customer’s nomination to MM or in case Customer’s nomination is
still pending based on a formal authorization by the management.
The Customer’s nomination will be reviewed respect to the offer package. Conflicts between offer and
nomination will be identified and action will be defined to resolve them.
The Project Leader has the responsibility to develop with the project team the Project Development Plan
(PDP) according IOEDVP200C and to keep it updated to manage properly:
In addition to IOEDVP200C the Project Leader has the responsibility to manage the System Release Plan
according PREDVP262.
The Project Development Plan must be approved by the responsible Program Manager and the Project
Quality Engineer assigned to the project.
According the complexity of the project the Program Manager can request to the different departments to
apply some of the quality methods according PRDIV2001. If decided these activities must start during the
phase 2.2.
The HW Department has to develop together with System Engineering FTAs minimum for displays and
microprocessors.
These FTAs have to be reviewed with experts from Plant Quality, Project Quality Engineer and SYS SW
QA. Invitation owner is HW.
The FTA method is described in IODIV2001B.
Figure 4 illustrates the V-cycle during the product development. It will be applied during all phases with
development activities not only during the concept development.
System development follows the V-cycle System release cycles and for significant sample stage (see figure
4) the system release cycle according figure 5 is performed.
The build of an PT-A is possible for the confirmation of the product concept but it is non-mandatory to
perform this build.
At the end of the Concept Development the commitment of all stakeholders (Customer, internal
stakeholders) to the final concept will be collected.
During this phase all activities related to the development of product and process will be completed and the
design of the product will be finalized.
Various configurations of PT-B will be built and evaluated and the design verification will be performed.
Customer will start vehicle tests with PT-B and feedback about these tests will be obtained and used to
update and freeze the product architecture.
SW functional content will increase according incrementation plan.
During this phase the commitment for the launch of all tools has been obtained from the Customer and the
series tools and equipment will be ordered/launched.
First sampling will be performed and the equipment will be installed.
Various PT-C prototype configurations will be built and evaluated and SW maturity will reach 100%
functionality.
The PPAP from the suppliers will be obtained and released. Non-conformities on the product and process
will be corrected.
Unit testing and SW Integration tests as well as System Integration & Testing and Functional System
Validation will be performed and at the end of the phase 2.4 the SW maturity will reach 100%SW function
fully tested or a derogation with the Customer is defined.
PRS-1 prototypes will be produced in limited quantities under pre-series conditions and will be used to
perform the production validation during the next phase.
Customer will use the PRS-1 samples for vehicle test campaigns and to give the (car) system approval to
MM.
During this phase it will be confirmed that the product and the (production) processes fits to the mass
production requirements.
Product Validation will be performed on PRS1 samples to confirm product compliance with agreed
specifications.
No more design changes are planned except for last tunings to overcome performance issues.
Latest process fine tunings will be done.
PRS-2 prototypes will be produced under mass production conditions and the production process will be
validated with the demonstration of the process capability.
Initial samples will be delivered to the Customer with full quality documentation (PPAP).
The Product and Process Approval finishes with the Customer approval of the delivered initial samples.
During this phase the transfer of the responsibility for manufacturing and logistic processes of the
manufacturing plant will be finished.
The manufacturing plant makes the latest investments and settings to achieve the contractual production
capacity and the negotiated volume.
The development departments provide the needed support to the manufacturing location for potential
product quality issues and failure analysis which cannot be analyzed autonomous by the manufacturing plant
because of the complexity.
Main target of this phase is to finish the transfer of the responsibility and to close the development project.
Target for Milestone 3 is to have finished the development and the design is frozen for both product and
process. The project team has the important objective to achieve under the lead of the Project Leader during
the phase 2.3.
This is needed to start the industrialization in a safe way and with minimum risk for unplanned changes as
the company will start to spend the capital for the needed tools and production equipment.
The experience from the past shows that the design freeze is not always possible due to open points with the
Customer. To not jeopardize the industrialization and the following phases of the P2 process the Project
Leader has the possibility to continue the project but he has to guarantee the following activities and
agreements with the Customer:
The approval of all project disciplines has to be collected by the Project Leader and have to be stored in the
project folder.
In case of no agreement with the Customer the escalation according chapter 10.16 has to be initiated by the
Project Leader.
If the design freeze cannot be confirmed due to Magneti Marelli internal open items the Project
Leader has to start immediately the escalation according the flow defined in chapter 10.16.
To prepare the escalation the Project Leader has to build with the support of the Project Team the
different scenarios to overcome the situation in the same logic than what has been said before in
case of Customer open points.
Based on this procedure the main activities and responsible inside a project are:
1. Definition of project constraints (Budget, Timing): PL with the support the whole Project Team
2. Industrial Planning to match tools and equipment availability and readiness: PE
3. Design freeze and drawing/spec release: Mechanical Engineering
4. Preferred supplier(s) definition: Sourcing +SDE +R&D +PE +PQE
5. Collect offers from the different suppliers: Sourcing
6. Offer discussion and technical constraints raised by the suppliers: Sourcing +SDE +R&D +PE +PQE
(If needed several loops)
7. Present preferred supplier(s) in the Sourcing Committee: Sourcing
8. Approval of preferred Supplier presented by Sourcing: Commodity
9. Communication to the Project Team: Sourcing
10. Issue RdA: PE
11. Issue Order: Sourcing
12. Follow tooling progress: SDE, (Support: Sourcing)
13. Request Sampling, PPAP from Supplier: Sourcing
14. Perform Sampling @ Supplier if needed: SDE
15. Approval of the supplier PPAP for the component stand alone: SDE
16. Final approval of PPAP: R&D, PE
17. Signature of PPAP: PL
18. Send signed PPAP to Supplier: Sourcing
PREDVP303 regulates all aspects and the responsibility to gather the Customer Series Production release.
Besides the sample or the SW itself, a planned set of documentation shall be produced or updated in each
cycle.
Each System Release at the end of a System development Cycle incorporates a Quality Gate (QGSR) at
which the System SW Quality Engineer shall rate:
• the development process compliance during the present cycle
• the availability and maturity of documentations in general and of those which are dedicated for the
sample/SW of that cycle
• the maturity of the delivered sample / software
The activities and responsibilities inside the standard System Development Cycle are defined in detail inside
the PROCEDURE “Systems Engineering and Validation” (PRDEVP262) and its related operative instructions
and document templates.
The System Development Cycles include all activities of System Validation as a means to evaluate the
actual maturity of the product. A full System Validation consists of following elements:
1. Functional System Validation – versus Functional and HMI requirements
2. Electrical and EMC Validation – versus Electrical and EMC requirements
3. Optical Validation – versus Optical Requirements
4. Mechanical Validation – versus Mechanical Requirements
5. Material Validation – versus Material Requirements
6. Reliability Validation – versus Reliability Requirements
7. System Safety Assessment – versus Safety Requirements
The needed test coverage by System Validation shall be tailored for each cycle, depending on project phase
and purpose of that cycle.
A full System Validation on B protoypes shall confirm the maturity of the product development prior the
launch of serial investments.
A full System Validation on mature PRS1samples is the base of the Product Qualification and approval.
Product changes after the System Development Cycle which includes the PRS1 validation shall be qualified
by delta validations in sub-sequent cycles.
6 Responsibility
6.1 Program Management
The Program Manager is responsible that the developed product and process is compliant with:
The Program Manager appoints a Project Leader for the operative management confirmed by Program
Management Director and agreed with the Product Line Management.
The Project Leader has to support the Program Manager in the achievement of these 3 targets. The detailed
responsibility of the Project Leader is defined in chapter 9.
• Authorization to start the development and therefore the P2 together with the Sales
Management and release of the offer budget
• Authorization of the project after positive nomination and release of the project budget
• Confirmation of the Program Manager and Project Leader for the project
• Escalation entity

PREDVP100 defines the offer process including the conditions to discontinue the process in case of decision
by the MM Management or negative Customer decision.
After MS1 the continuation of the activities is only allowed if the Customer activation is available.
PREDVP220 defines the continuation of the activities in case of missing Customer activation.
A hand over meeting has to be performed and must be documented by minutes of meeting to guarantee a
formal acceptance of the hand over by both teams.
Latest at the MS1 review the Project Manager has to publish the approved project team in a project team
chart according IOEDVP200B.
The project team is an interdisciplinary team. The following figure illustrates the relation between hierarchical
organization and project team:
Even if all roles are stated in singular it does not exclude that there are several resources working during a
project on a role, e.g. several System Engineers.
This team composition answers to the today’s complexity of product and process development.
The essential roles and responsibilities of the project team members during a project to assure a safe
development of product and process are listed in this chapter.
Project Core Team Member: Participates to all project meetings since SOD unless different decision of the
Project Leader.
Beside these formalized tasks and responsibilities every project team member has the general responsibility
to act in an proactive way to assure the success of the project and to limit any risk during the development

The Project Leader has to plan the 6 milestones inside the project plan since the 1 st high level planning.
The Project Leader has the responsibility to manage the development activities through regular meetings
with the project team.
The Project Leader has further the responsibility to manage the project meetings with an agenda to guaranty
an efficient implication of the resources assigned to the project.
The Project Leader is authorized to issue instructions during the project meetings.
The invited team members have to participate to these meetings and to assure the successful execution of
assigned tasks. In case of problems to achieve the team member has the responsibility to escalate pro-
active to the Project Leader and to make positive proposals how to solve the issue.
The team member has also to inform inside the hierarchical organization to get support from its
management.
To prove conformity between the performed project activities and the development process and to assure
that all needed tasks and activities of each phase are in time and according the expectation the project team
has to perform milestone reviews according PREDVP220.
The milestone reviews have to be performed by the whole project team without exception.
Configuration management is an established process on technical and administrative level to guarantee that
it is always assured that the product’s performance as well as the functional and physical characteristics are
such documented that they can be linked one-to-one with its requirements.
The Project Leader is responsible for the CM on project level , the Lead System Engineer on System Level
(Requirements Management) and each discipline on component/module level.
The table below gives an overview of the object design reviews to be performed during the product and
process development and the responsibilities.
The interdisciplinary object reviews have to be planned in the project plan. The review results have to be
formalized and to be stored in the project folder by the PL.
It is the responsibility of the project team to support the Project Leader to plan them at the appropriate dates.
The continuous reviews are under the responsibility of each departments and can be stored according the
regulation of each department.
The needs to fulfill the requirements for ISO-TS certification must be followed.
In case of clarification the Quality System Responsible must be consulted pro-active by the team member or
its responsible.
Collecting of the requirements itself remains under the responsibility of System Engineering.
He has to assure that Environmental Test Requirements from the Customer are well taken into account and
taken into consideration during development for both make parts but also buy parts.
Therefore a specific Validation Readiness Review has to be performed on the Mechanics, Optical Parts and
the HW before launching PT-B tools. See also chapter 10.8.
Aim of the review is to demonstrate the absence of validation weaknesses in the design.
If the problem has been reported by the Customer it is also mandatory to perform
- Ishikawa (done by the project team with local Plant WCM support)
- 5Why (done by the project team with local Plant WCM support)
For display and processor fail also review and update of the FTAs are mandatory and to be done by HW.
Starting with PT-C it is needed that the Project Leader tracks the maturity level of the final product. He has to
perform regularly Part-Product-Maturity-Assessments with the team.
It is recommended to use the tables given on the next slides to assess the maturity degree.
Team: min. Project Leader, Process Engineer and Project Quality Engineer

10.13 SW Readiness
Not only the functional increase of SW functions must be tracked by the Project Leader but also the test case
development has to be tracked to guarantee that 100% of the planned test cases are available at same time
as 100% SW functionality.
With 100% SW functionality the SW Project Leader has to track the trend of SW errors and error correction
and to report it during the Project Meetings to the Project Leader. The SW Project Leader has to estimate the
prognosis for the bug increase and the trend line for the reduction of the remaining bugs and report
afterwards against this prognosis as shown in the figure below.
In addition the Project Leader has to perform a Lessons Learned Meeting with the project team at the end of
phase 2.6.
10.16 Escalation
st
The 1 escalation for the team members is the Project Leader.
The 1 st escalation for the Project Leader is the Program Manager and the Program Review Meeting.
The escalation for the Program Manager are the Functional Leads of the different departments involved in
the project.
The further escalation is the Product Line Management and the Product Line Meeting.
Independent of this flow, an escalation by the Project Quality Engineer to the Quality Management can be
started at any time.
12 Key Decisions
Project decisions with a significant impact on costs, quality, timing or technical concept have to be taken in a
methodic way using a 10 step DAR (Decision Analysis and Resolution):
13 Tailoring
The process P2 has to be applied entirely for new product and process developments.
For changes, modifications or derivative developments or Customer model year changes a tailoring of the
process is possible and described in IOEDVP200C.
The responsibility for the tailoring of activities related to the Program Management has the Program Manager
not the Project Leader.
The Program Manager decides which parts of the PREDVP200 has to be executed.
The Program Manager is accountable for the variations against the complete PREDVP200.
The Program Manager has to write a justification note about it and has to store it in the project folder.
14 Performance Indicators
The overall performance of the process P2 is measured by Key Performance Indicators independent of each
project.
