Abstract
Existing processes for the development of complex products in the commercial vehicle industry are often variant-based and the components and their individual diversity have priority. Most product innovations in automotive industry are realized less and less as a single innovation but as a system innovation in the field of mechatronics.The paper describes an ongoing research approach to embed systems engineering design into an existing environment of the concept design phase at a commercial vehicle manufacturer to increase the concept quality.
Keywords: systems engineering (SE), early design phase, variant management
