Global Tier 1 Expanding into the Automotive Market

Case Study Overview

An established US based Tier 1 electronics client was looking to expand into the safety-related automotive market and needed support with the transition, as well as improving their skills and processes relating to the relevant standards.

Successes and Benefits

  • People, processes and products were addressed in parallel to prepare the client for the automotive world and to give them ‘functional safety readiness’.
  • Our customer is now ready for ISO 26262 certification (if desired).
  • The customer has been able to use the exercise practically in product development, to bring real-world learning to their team.

A lead project was identified as a way to act as a testbed for the activities and to provide objective measurements for the support.
