Abstract
Changing conditions on costumer, material, and technology market force producing companies to decrease duration of product and production system development. Especially in case of complex products like cars, this reduction leads to a strategic need for parallel development of products and production systems. Thus automotive industry organizes a complex interplay between product engineering and production system engineering within the new product and production system development processes (NPPDP).
This chapter discusses complexity challenges from automobile manufacturing that NPPDP have to cope with, and surveys strengths and limitations of complexity management methods for production system development. As no complexity management method can fully address the NPPDP challenges, the chapter derives types of NPPDP requirements and discusses a future framework for managing the complexity in NPPDP.
