Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Project Management, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This paper explores the effectiveness of project management implementation in the automotive industry and the advantages it can offer. The automotive industry, with its complex and interdependent processes, faces challenges related to schedules, budgets, scope definition, and maintaining product quality. By incorporating project management methodologies, companies can overcome these obstacles and deliver high-quality products within shorter timeframes and at reduced costs. The article reviews the history of project management in the automotive industry, highlighting four phases of development. The first phase lacked a structured project management approach, leading to poor performance and delayed production. The second phase saw the emergence of lightweight project managers and the adoption of project roles and instructions. Concurrent engineering and improved supplier relationships characterized the third phase, leading to shorter production times. The fourth phase emphasized innovation-based competition and increased collaboration with suppliers. The discussion section focuses on the challenges faced by automobile manufacturers and how project management can address them. Lean project management methods, such as lean design and lean manufacturing, help streamline processes and reduce waste. Traditional project management techniques, such as Gantt charts and job breakdown structures, aid in planning and monitoring progress. Effective risk management and resource allocation ensure smooth operations, while concurrent engineering allows for simultaneous development of multiple project components. Implementing project management in the automotive industry can result in increased flexibility, efficient progress tracking, effective risk identification and mitigation, optimized resource utilization, and continuous quality improvement.
