Safety Management

 

• Introducing methods and processes for functional safety based on standards such as IEC 61508 (all domains), ISO 26262 (Automotive), DO-178B (Aerospace), EN 501xx (Railways), ISO 25119 (Agriculture), IEC 60601 (Medical) and ISO 13849 (Machinery), EN 62061 (Automation).

• Implementation of focus and cost-effective safety processes

• Interim safety manager for your company

• Review of safety concepts and evaluation of safety-critical systems and components

• Conducting supplier safety assessments

• Development, specification and verification of safety requirements

• Safety analysis with techniques such as FMEA, FTA, FMEDA, etc. by using “state of the art” tools (FaultTree+, IQ-FMEA)

• Introduction of strategies and methods to ensure information security in technical systems, because functional safety requires information security

• Training and coaching of safety managers and engineers

 

Efficiency improvements

 

• Efficiency-Check to evaluate your cost reduction potentials

• Analyzing, evaluating and optimizing cost structures

• Reducing rework and complexity

• Utilizing different engineering locations and suppliers

• Automating processes with suitable engineering and management tools

• Lean Development in product engineering

 

CMMI and Automotive SPICE

 

• Training and coaching of projects and management in CMMI and SPICE

• Pragmatic and objective-driven application of CMMI and SPICE, based on our broad and long- standing experiences

• Implementation of comprehensive improvement programs

• Support to successfully achieve a target maturity level

• Conducting appraisals with experienced authorized assessors

• Supplier assessments and optimization of supplier processes

• Process and project assessments with CMMI and (Automotive) SPICE

• Application of CMMI and SPICE to improve systems, software, hardware and mechanics development

  

Requirements engineering / Engineering methodologies

 

• Consistent modeling of the specification and system architecture, division in hardware, software and mechanical components, together with continuous validation and verification

• Architecture review and evaluation on the basis of quality requirements, such as performance, efficiency, safety, information security, maintainability, etc.

• Introduction and consistent implementation of model-driven development (methodology, tools, data consistency)

• Quality management for development and supplier interfaces (ex, reviews, quality management, audits, assessments)

• Agile development and Scrum for Systems Engineering, Software, and Hardware

 

Supplier management

 

• Risk management and interim project management

• Introducing and optimizing risk management (operational and strategic)

• Improvement of requirements engineering, product strategy, portfolio and product management across departments

• Supplier management, supplier audits, quality management with suppliers

• Metrics, indicators, benchmarking
