Dear ECU Development interested visitor,
on this page I publish a series of insights which I gained during my work in large-scale, multi project ECU development.These stem from the neverending search for multiplication factors to generate Economies of Scale.
Please feel free to contact me in case you are interested in more details.
The next insight is simple, trivial and more than obvious. Nevertheless it is extremly important to plan for economies of scale and in practice it turns out to be hard to establish and to maintain.
#3 Insight is another puzzle piece for generating economies of scale. Proper defined scaling ranges and baselining are essential for development teams.
​
#4 Insight: Electronics have specific boundary conditions.
As ECU Development Organisation you need to know the rules and base your development strategy on them
#5 Insight: modular design in electronics and mechanics
provides a base for Economies of Scale. Only proper structuring
of design assets secures reuse on a large scale
#6 Insight: One crucial success factor of ECU manufacturers is
lowest possible cost of value add.
Fully loaded production lines are key .
#7 Insight: For large scale ECU manufacturers Economies of
Scale bring best results with a optimized production function.
#8 Insight: Secure best loaded production lines
#9 Insight: Avoid organizational frictions
#10 Insight: profit from End to End seamless data flow
