Review of literature on the design of integrated product incorporating new industry 4.0 technologies in processes with human interaction or without human interaction.

Abstract

The design of an automotive product is complex, as it involves many components and interference from various teams within different organizations. These products must comply with regulations, specifications, and the quality expected by consumers. A significant challenge is the target market, which defines the engineering specifications and budget available for the project. The automotive sector is diverse, commercially defining luxury through common qualities such as performance; iconic design features (primarily visual); outstanding quality, precision, and a detailed craftsmanship; and the use of unique and expensive materials. Luxury brands offer fast, powerful, and agile driving experiences associated with dream scenarios. There are various phases in product development, starting with the product concept, followed by market segmentation to select the product's needs and scope.

Finally, in the later stages where the product is communicated to the responsible design supplier, the feasibility of manufacturing the product is validated. Often, the original design needs to change, leading to a change in concept and consequently delaying project introductions to the market. The current methodology for designing and developing products by OEMs focuses solely on aesthetics, causing issues in manufacturing validation stages due to a lack of consideration for potential manufacturing problems and market regulations. The objective is to design a methodology that integrates Scrum and Industry 4.0 technologies to reduce development and prototype validation time, from the concept phase to the design development with the supplier selected by the OEM.
