Design of Experiments is a statistically based, structured approach to product or process improvement that will quickly yield significant increases in product quality and subsequent decreases in cost.  Products and processes can be designed to function with less variation and with less sensitivity to environmental factors or customer usage. While still maintaining high quality from a customer's viewpoint, products and processes can utilize lower cost materials and methods.  Specifications can be opened-up with wider tolerances while still maintaining high quality for customers.

As the electrification of automobiles is on the rise, it is imperative that the capabilities and limits of the associated devices and systems be understood at a higher level than previously considered adequate. For example, the Tesla Model S has 62 electric motors while the Model X has 70! They propel the vehicle and provide comfort too. Their design must reflect the worst case operating scenarios, duty cycles, environment, country of use and its standards, etc.

According to NHTSA, there were 932 vehicle recalls in the United States in 2022, affecting approximately 31 million vehicles; 39 electric vehicle recalls affecting more than 1.3 million vehicles, and 56 ADAS recalls affecting more than 4.7 million vehicles. Furthermore, Warranty Week reports that Worldwide Auto Manufacturers allocated a total of $54.7 billion for future warranty repairs or $670 per vehicle sold in 2022. 2023 Consumer Report indicates that Electrical Vehicles have 79% more reliability issues than ICE vehicles.

Model-based software development has become state of the art for automotive embedded applications. Toolchains have been established, and methods and procedures have been defined to address the strong requirements of functional safety standards. Best practices within general software development, however, propose to overcome strict waterfall process models and promote agile methods in order to address real-world challenges, such as late changes or vague requirements. These real-world scenarios exist in automotive software development, and agile methods will also be beneficial here.

This training class provides a practical overview of developing and safeguarding embedded software on the basis of Simulink and code generators like Embedded Coder and TargetLink within the framework of serial projects. The training class takes participants through all process steps from designing and creating the simulation model in Simulink and Stateflow to generating production code. Model quality assurance consists of verifying the model and software architecture, safeguarding the modeling guidelines, as well as checking for functional compliance with requirements in the model test.

As part of the release of ISO 26262 in 2011, requirements to establish confidence in the correct functioning of software tools used to develop safety-related automotive E/E systems came into effect. A decade later, there are plenty of experiences and lessons learned from applying these requirements in day-to-day engineering. However, implementing ISO 26262 tool classification and qualification remains a challenge for many automotive organizations and remains resource intensive.

This training class will introduce you to fundamental aspects of working with modeling guidelines and to the static model analysis of MATLAB Simulink/Stateflow, TargetLink, and Embedded Coder models. Furthermore, you will learn how to create MISRA- and ISO 26262-compliant models using proven modeling standards and best practices. The spotlight will be placed on how you can best integrate the MES Model Examiner (MXAM) into your process. Via several hands-on sessions, you will have the chance to practice reliably deploying guidelines with MXAM and ensure guideline compliance.

This training class provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, processes, and objectives of model testing – from requirements to model tests. We offer step-by-step guidance from creating requirements-based test specifications, through testing TargetLink and/or Embedded Coder models, to automated test evaluation based on test assessments and back-to-back/regression tests. In particular, we will emphasize ISO 26262-compliant test management and explain the test process for MiL and SiL, as well as tracing requirements to test specifications and test assessments.

Inductive and deductive safety analyses play an essential role within the ISO 26262 safety life cycle. Qualitative analysis methods are used to identify failures whereas quantitative methods are utilized to predict the frequency of failures. This one-day training class introduces the fundamentals of common safety analysis methods such as FMEA, FMEDA, and FTA and discusses the role of these methods in the development of safety-related E/E systems as per ISO 26262.

Ensuring the safety of a driving automation system encompasses two aspects, namely (1) the avoidance of unreasonable risk caused by malfunctioning behavior of the system as well as (2) the avoidance of unreasonable risk caused by hazards associated with the intended functionality and its implementation, e.g. due to performance limitations. The first aspect - known as functional safety - has been addressed by the industry for quite some time already and is described by the established ISO 26262 standard.

This course is verified by Probitas as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for Continuing Professional Development. This course serves a dual purpose: it delves into fundamental DFMEA principles and their practical applications while also offering guidance on leading DFMEA teams. Participants will be introduced to crucial FMEA concepts, along with the theoretical foundations before exploring how to implement these concepts in their DFMEA endeavors. Often, the FMEA process can become a mere replication of past efforts, which poses risks for both organizations developing the products under scrutiny and the end-users.
