Global Engineering

Automotive OEMs and suppliers have always been competitive, embracing new strategies to grow their respective market shares while minimizing operating costs. In this hypercompetitive environment to capture market share in the new, growing markets around the world, OEMs and suppliers must expand and leverage their product development footprint to develop innovative vehicle platforms and products to meet each market’s unique customer needs and regulations, yet achieve development cost economies of scale. Seamlessly integrating globally distributed product development processes and operations makes globalization a true competitive advantage.

Siemens' Global Engineering solution provides automakers and suppliers with an integrated environment for the development and management of vehicle and product platforms. This single source of product and process knowledge enables engineering teams dispersed around the world to retain their specific domain focus and user preferences, while working in each other’s context to jointly meet overall development goals.
