Risk Management Throughout the Automotive Development Process Web Course RePlay

Jon Quigley discusses the importance of this course. Automotive projects continue to grow in complexity. Studies provide a glimpse into the attributes of product development projects that have a high likelihood of failure. Knowing these attributes, the approach to the project can be structured to reduce the risks. For example, the scope of the project may already place the project at risk. Understanding the risks associated with the scope enables you to either reconsider the scope or work out strategies that will eliminate or at least mitigate the risks.

Introduction to Hybrid Electric Vehicle Systems

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models currently populating the vehicle electrification landscape indicate their dominance in the market. Although electric, plug-in, and fuel cell vehicles are making inroads in the market, the HEV stands as the market leader in adoption, and manufacturers have no plans on diminishing HEV production. HEV powertrain operation is totally different from the traditional vehicle. It is essential to understand the various operating modes and how failure modes in the hybrid system affect its operation.

Design of Experiments (DoE) for Engineers

How do you determine the root cause of a problem or identify which variable settings will make the product or process more "robust"? What if you need to gain a better understanding of a complicated system? Can you identify which variables most affect performance and obtain a well-correlated regression equation that explains how those selected system variables and their interactions affect performance?   Design of Experiments (DOE) is an excellent, statistically based tool used to address and solve these questions in the quickest, least expensive, and most efficient means possible.
