Requirements off Automotive Tier1s and OEMs Klaus Pietrczak JCET Group, 46429 Landing Parkway, Fremont, CA 94538 [email protected] The automotive market size for power and discrete devices is growing at a rate of greater than 7 percent. Market drivers for this growth include ADAS, Infotainment and Powertrain. Getting an automotive device from initial specification to high volume manufacturing (HVM) can take four years compared to the typical three to six months it takes a consumer device. The requirements for automotive devices are much more complex. Increasing electronic content and zero failure over 15 years of lifetime are the major drivers for the ever increasing reliability requirements. The major document for any automotive device is the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). This presentation will show the required content for the PPAP and which roles in an organization will contribute to it. There will also be a deeper dive into the three major automotive standards: IATF16949, AIAG and AEC. For each standard covered in-depth looking at the purpose, what the goal of the standard is, and a few examples for better understanding. Also covered will be the fact that even with all of these standards, not everything is covered. The device manufacturer having specific requirement on top of the standard requirements are more the standard rather than the exception. We will go into detail regarding who has to deliver what to which section and how they are all linked and interacting. The content on the standards will be completed by a look at the upcoming ISO26262-11, its intent, scope and expected influence on Semiconductor and OSATs. Finally, a look to some of the less defined but still important pieces of the puzzle. Examples of these include failure analysis procedure, product change/cancellation notification and data retention. While not an exhausting list, more often than not each is an important part of the business. An explanation of the purpose and typical requirements for these will be presented. This comprehensive review will give anyone targeting automotive business an overview of all that is required for automotive devices and the timeline to expect to get to HVM.

In recent years the increasing needs of reducing the costs of car development expressed by the automotive market have determined a rapid development of virtual driver prototyping tools that aims at reproducing vehicle behaviors. Nevertheless, these advanced tools are still not designed to exploit the entire vehicle dynamics potential, preferring to assure the minimum requirements in the worst possible operating conditions instead. Furthermore, their calibration is typically performed in a pre-defined strict range of operating conditions, established by specific regulations or OEM routines. For this reason, their performance can considerably decrease in particularly crucial safetycritical situations, where the environmental conditions (rain, snow, ice), the road singularities (oil stains, puddles, holes), and the tyre thermal and ageing phenomena can deeply affect the adherence potential. The objective of the work is to investigate the possibility of the physical model-based control to take into account the variations in terms of the dynamic behavior of the systems and of the boundary conditions. Different scenarios with specific tyre thermal and wear conditions have been tested on diverse road surfaces validating the designed model predictive control algorithm in a hardware-in-the-loop real-time environment and demonstrating the augmented reliability of an advanced virtual driver aware of available information concerning the tyre dynamic limits. The multidisciplinary proposal will provide a paradigm shift in the development of strategies and a solid breakthrough towards enhanced development of the driving automatization systems, unleashing the potential of physical modeling to the next level of vehicle control, able to exploit and to take into account the multi-physical tyre variations.

Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) defines generic requirements for production part approval, including production and bulk material. The objective of PPAP is to recognize all customer requirements and to prove that manufacturing process has the potential to produce product consistently meeting these requirements during actual production run. Hence it increases customer confidence in the organisation and enhance customer satisfaction, but PPAP is much more than that. By implementing PPAP, organisation gets more benefits like manufacturing process improvement and standardisation, rejection reduction, high quality product, customer acceptance and many more which contributes towards continuous quality improvement. In this case study based research, the role of PPAP in the quality improvement and customer satisfaction is presented. The PPAP was implemented in four Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and its effect on quality and customer satisfaction was monitored. The experience of the SMEs and their customer’s feedback after implementation of PPAP is presented as a result.

O setor aeronáutico sempre teve como premissa que os produtos de fornecedores tivessem alto grau de maturidade, tendo requisitos como testes de maturidade e de qualificação. Porém, ambos não tratavam das não conformidades, restando a necessidade de troca das peças rejeitadas, ocasaionando parada da linha fabril. Tendo referência o cenário automotivo e seu alto controle de maturidade, a empresa Alfa decidiu por empregar o PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) em seus fornecedores, afim de diminuir essas não conformidades. Um destes deliverables é o FMEA de Processo, no qual a Qualidade é responsável por avaliar e assegurar que o processo fabril do fornecedor tenha conhecimento dos modos de falha de seu processo e que impeça que itens rejeitados sejam enviados ao cliente. Esta monografia visa apresentar a aplicação diferenciada do PFMEA em forma de cobrança, avaliação, ganhos de processo, lessons learned, e por fim, payback dessa ferramenta para a empresa.

Implementation of management by processes in Romania it is a problem if we consider its effects: improving performances of organizations expressed in terms of quality, process duration, cost, etc. Taking into account the sequence of steps corresponding to the specific managerial process and quality management, it is considered that its functions are: planning, organizing, coordinating, controlling, quality assurance and improvement. This paper presents a detailed approach of advanced product quality planning (APQP) of technological products and the case study regarding the analysis of industrial product defects implementing statistical process control (SPC). The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) purpose continues to be to provide the evidence that the specification requirements are clearly understood by the organization and the manufacturing processes are the designed capability. Implementing the APQP technique permits us to define and establish the steps necessary to ensure that a product satisfies the customers requirements.

Nanocellulose has enormous potential to provide an important materials platform in numerous product sectors. This study builds on previous work by the same authors in which likely high-volume, low-volume, and novel applications for cellulosic nanomaterials were identified. In particular, this study creates a transparent methodology and estimates the potential annual tonnage requirements for nanocellulose in the previously identified applications in the United States (U.S.). High, average, and low market penetration estimates are provided for each application. Published data sources of materials use in the various applications provide the basis for estimating nanocellulose market size. Annual U.S. market potential for high-volume applications of nanocellulose is estimated at 6 million metric tons, based on current markets and middle market penetration estimates. The largest uses for nanocellulose are projected to be in packaging (2.0 million metric tons), paper (1.5 million metric tons), and plastic film applications (0.7 million metric tons). Cement has a potential nanocellulose market size of over 4 million metric tons on a global basis, but the U.S. market share estimated for cement is 21,000 metric tons, assuming market penetration is initially limited to the ultra-high performance concrete market. Total annual consumption of nanocellulose for low-volume applications is less than 10% of the high-volume applications. Estimates for nanocellulose use in emerging novel applications were not made because these applications generally have yet to come to market. The study found that the majority of the near-term market potential for nanocellulose appears to be in its fibrillar versus crystalline form. Market size estimates exceed three prior estimates for nanocellulose applications, but the methodologies for those studies are not transparent.
