Staged Approach for generation of Multiplication Factors in ECU design

Gerhard Müller-Römer Consulting Interim Manager

Economies of Scale provide a competitive edge
especially when unique selling points are hard to
find. Economies of Scale offer low cost, faster time to market
and better quality but most companies find it hard to generate
them systematically.
"SAMF" is a practical proven method that offers an iterative
and structured way to maximize Economies of Scale in your
business.
In only 5 steps your development projects are processed with

maximum possible reuse and synergies. 
Already with the first step you unveal the potential of your
individual business cases. Based on information of your
development project list and your top product requirements
as well as based on a focus point analysis and your business
boundary conditions one of 4 basic development strategies
will be selected. This already displays your potentials to profit
from Economies of Scale. 
In a second step you make cost and technical performance
of your products decisive "functional chains" and
"device portfolio" transparent. This results in the optimal
production technology- and chip-set.
Thereafter you differentiate "fixed", "selectable" and
"designable" parameters of your "Design Functions" in a third step.
This asset is base for fast and reliable design later.
During the fourth step you define your
"Mechanical Architecture" and "Circuit Topology" which
at the same time determines your production sequence.
Finally based on all previous results your designed products
will offer all advantages that Economies of Scale can offer to
you. This can begin only after 6 month of concentrated team
work.
On top all this can be additionally supplemented with a
state of the art digitized "Development Environment" that is
fun to work with for your associates.
