All Use Cases are based on the same basic data model and are
driven from a central data base
Formal established within overall development process
Responsible role for central data management with reporting
line to the head of development
Central version, release and variant management
Integration of suppliers (mandatory data provision)
Extensive training / support organisation
Why has integrated digital design been established for mechanical engineering?
Why are the infrastructure costs accepted?

Concept examinations and conflict solving are not feasible without digital approaches given
the short development timeframe.
The mechanics of a state-of-theart premium vehicle can no longer be developed
without integrated digital design approach.
