Design Manual for first time right product 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Working in an Automotive design and development firm , designing and building a first - time 

 right product was emphasized for cost and time saving . We have commercial vehicle that ranges from   1ton payload to 55ton payload . In - order to achieve the cost and less product development time ,   components commonization needs to be done . i.e. , vehicle will be made as per the user requirement of   engine capacity , vehicle length , cabin type , payload carrying bays etc .. The challenge came on the   designing of aggregates / components such as steering system , change speed operator , powertrain ,   exhaust and intake systems which needs to be optimized for flexible integration in any type of vehicle   with the concept of first time right . 

 Selection 

 The scope of work includes closely working with various aggregates design , vehicle integration , 

 benchmarking and validation teams , for generating and implementing design and integration   procedures . For this with the vast availability of previous validation database , design procedures ,   integration methods need to be consolidated and a huge database needs to be maintained for various   vehicle performance to that of aggregate performance . From these database , the design and   performance characteristics can be distinguished clearly for the aggregates and design manual can be   developed for each aggregates / system . 

 Application 

 We started to build a design manual for each aggregate from scratch . At first , we focused on the 

 performance benchmarking of various competitor vehicles . All the parameters were carefully   monitored . A subjective and objective data was captured . All dimensional parameters of the vehicle and   its performance were characterized . Finally , a matrix is made for all the benchmark vehicles . For this   activity , each design aggregate team takes the responsibility of their cluster . In this way , a detailed   performance characteristics is captured . In parallel , the products in our portfolio were also monitored in   a similar way . The characteristics and its performance were captured in detail and is listed along with   the benchmark products . The measured data gave us a new insight as though how our products were   performing with respect to the benchmark vehicles which has a similar build configuration . The matrix   gave us a detailed insight about these performances . Based on the study , Design Manual was prepared   which had details about how the product needs to be designed , and how it performs when it gets along   with the vehicle etc . , A thumb rule / handbook format of these guidelines for aggregates were made and   circulated across clusters and integration teams instructing them to adhere for these rules when a   product is made . 

 We discussed with design team and explained about how to use our new design guidelines to improve   the product design so that the product meets the validation requirements first time right . We also   improved the way the product validation is performed by new validation procedures , which included   prioritization of tests . All the validation activities were performed with in the stipulated time frame and   new product was ready to be launched . Prior to launch we showcased the product to the experts and   jury , which had members from different departments and customers . Through this subjective   assessment , it was found that the product performance was meeting all the requirements . 

 Insight and approach 

 With the new learnings and a ready reckoner from the design manual , we could develop a 

 product with a shorter lead time and less errors . The number of protos built for the validations were   reduced by 50 % . The cost involved also came down by 30 % .   Since the design manual has reached all the   design clusters and integration team , the first - time right design concept was also achieved . Customers   were happy with the shorter lead time in delivering the well validated product . The market penetration   of the product was also good . 

 Since this design manual worked well in design and integration teams , a testing manual of 

 similar kind will be developed for seamless and faster validation .
