This course is one in a four-course series that leads to a Professional
Certificate in Automotive Product Development Management, jointly
conferred by SAE and Oakland University’s renowned School of
Business.
This course presents a proven eight-step method for program
planning and control, including: definition of customers’ requirements,
roles of the program team, determination and flowcharting of program
tasks, scheduling and costing, quality aspects of critical tasks, and
risk management. Easy to grasp, each of the eight steps evolve from
common-sense questions that should be answered for any program,
regardless of size or complexity.
With shortened development cycles and greater reliance on
information in programs, this course emphasizes the value of
communication within a program team, between the team and
functional areas, and between the team and the program customer.
Since the appropriateness of communication vehicles vary depending
on purpose and audience, alternative modes of communication and
change control are discussed.
