In the fast-growing automotive industry and the associated growth of automotive suppliers, it is advisable to establish a uniform product development process, also called PDP, in the company structure. This makes it easy to generate a central and value-adding process for product and process development that can be monitored using effectiveness and efficiency indicators. The PDP delivers a fully developed and freely tested series product in accordance with the agreed requirements, which can be manufactured in the production plant without problems in accordance with a reliable manufacturing process. In order to get there, a multitude of activities are necessary. This paper describes a guideline for series product development, with special consideration of automotive suppliers.
