Abstract

In the context of the automotive industry, OEM and suppliers are setting new processes in order to reduce the product costs and decrease development time. These new approaches affect the design process, which become today more collaborative in the globalization of the market. From several years, many new approaches using simultaneously new tools were implemented in industrial companies. The main purpose of this chapter is to introduce a new design process including the new CAD tools, which was implemented in a design office since a couple of years, and present the result of 1 year use.
