Lifecycle Requirements Management

To deliver the Automotive and Transportation systems of the future, we need to truly understand the market and customer dynamics. Requirements that are maintained outside the product development lifecycle, or delivered through documents and spreadsheets, prevent collaboration and can’t deliver products efficiently. Collaborating on requirements is critical to successful product realization and innovation. Our solution allows you to capture, keep up with, and deliver requirements to the entire enterprise.

The automotive industry has been disrupted with new technologies and business models in order to deliver connected vehicles, electrified powertrains, autonomous vehicles, and shared mobility. Understanding and capturing customer and engineering requirements within these increasingly complex vehicle systems has never been more challenging.

To address these challenges, complex and highly sophisticated systems are being designed and simulated as a digital twin before a physical product is even created. Integrating requirements across the enterprise throughout the product lifecycle is the only scalable way of delivering these innovative products. This ensures that requirements are captured, related, and accurately maintained. It mitigates the risks of non-compliance by tying requirements to downstream implementation processes for continuous product compliance monitoring.

Our solution lets you manage complexity with the customer in mind by understanding and intelligently assessing the impact of changes across the entire product and lifecycle. It is a systematic and repeatable solution for “building in” the voice of the customer, enabling you to easily capture, securely manage, accurately verify, and reliably maintain requirements.

Solution capabilities

Explore the key areas of this solution.

Verification & Validation

Requirements verification and validation capabilities help to close the loop on requirements by capturing and associating verification and validation results with requirements while enabling focused testing.

Apply Product Configuration to Requirements

Requirements participate in all aspects of your controlled product development process subject to the same product lifecycle processes, configurations, variants, change, workflows, access controls, and other standard practices.

Integrate Requirements Across PLM & ALM

Traceability is a key component of successful product development by providing the cross-domain requirements traceability that enables product development organizations to successfully develop mechanical and software-driven electronic systems.

PLM Foundation

Business-wide collaboration from a web browser, on any device, and within the design tools and office applications people use every day with flexible deployment options (on-premise, cloud, and pre-configured).

Program Planning & Project Execution

Develop complex products through integrated planning and execution in a single system allowing teams across disciplines to effectively collaborate and communicate key information to shorten time to market.

Report & Specification Generation

Quickly create standard requirement reports, dashboard views, and generate specifications. Reports on requirements, traceability, verification, variation, status, impact analysis for visibility into the product development processes.

Requirements Allocation & Tracelinking

Requirements can be linked to all aspects of the product definition including: specifications, other requirements, Bill of Materials, program/project tasks, test cases, 1D and 3D models, manufacturing processes etc.

Requirements Capture & Authoring

Embed requirements across the product lifecycle with requirements capture and reuse capabilities tied to standard product management processes including change, workflows and also be included in standard reports and dashboards etc.

Requirements Change

Requirements can participate in standard change management practices either as a requirement change process or included in product level changes and can be included with global product change planning/management.
