1 White Paper Leveragig CMMI framework for Egieerig Services Today, most OEMs adopt global product developmet leveragig global parters to respod to demads of global markets faster ad to realize competitive products with high quality ad less cost. To achieve the speed ad resposiveess that is ecessary, global product developmet process of a orgaizatio should be robust, cosistet ad predictable. These processes should esure cross-fuctioal collaboratio betwee the developmet resources spread across multiple locatios. The orgaizatio should be able to measure ad aalyze the developmet processes for effective maagemet of quality, schedule ad cost. The orgaizatio should also have a framework to drive cotiuous improvemet i product developmet processes to remai competitive. This paper will elaborate how Capability Maturity Model Itegratio will help OEMs establish stadard processes coverig multiple disciplies of product developmet towards meetig their strategic busiess objectives.

4 Itroductio I respose to global market demad, several OEMs have adopted Global Egieerig as a busiess strategy towards eablig them to reach out to fast-growig emergig markets ad also to brig out cost- [1] effective products with a faster time-to-market. Most OEMs outsource their global egieerig activities to Global Parters to achieve operatioal efficiecy, flexibility ad agility by utilizig the egieerig talet of a global workforce. Global Egieerig has ow progressed from traditioal Egieerig Services like Computer Aided Desig (CAD), Computer Aided Egieerig (CAE), Computer Aided Maufacturig (CAM) ad Product Data Maagemet (PDM) to product developmet activities spaig across the product lifecycle startig with the capture of the Voice of Customer, Product Specificatios, Coceptual Desig, Product Risk Aalysis, Detailed Desig, Product Validatio, Maufacturig Process Desig, Maufacturig Sourcig, Prototype Developmet ad Productio Support (Figure 1). Evolutio of Egieerig Services CAD/CAM/ CAE/PDM Product Lifecycle activities Draftig Markups Figure 1 Evolutio of Egieerig Services Sice Global Egieerig parters carry out product developmet activities for OEMs, their processes should alig with the OEMs product-developmet processes if they are to fulfill priorities such as speed-to-market ad the realizatio of competitive products with cosistet quality. Product Developmet Process [2] A typical Product Developmet Process (Figure 2) comprises the followig phases : i. Idea Geeratio: Ideas for ew product are obtaied based o the aalysis of market ad cosumer treds. 4

5 ii. Opportuity Assessmet: Ideas are screeed based o market potetial, commercial feasibility, techical viability, impact o curret products, resource availability, health ad evirometal impact ad other factors related to safety, reliability, regulatory, statutory requiremets, ad so o. iii. Cocept Developmet ad Testig: Techical requiremets of the product are derived based o opportuity assessmet ad the Voice of Customer. Alterative desig cocepts i the form of mock-up models are developed ad feedback is obtaied from a focus group of users to determie customers willigess to buy the product. iv. Busiess Aalysis: Sellig price, sales volume, profitability ad the breakeve poit for the product are estimated ad the suitability of the ew product to the compay s strategy is cofirmed. v. Prototype Developmet & Testig: The fuctioal, peripheral ad cotrol elemets required to esure that the selected cocept traslates to a fuctioal product are idetified; fuctioal requiremets ad performace characteristics of each of these elemets are established. System desig is further drilled dow ito detailed desig ad drawigs of compoets ad assembly, icludig maufacturig ad assembly details. Prototypes are developed ad are tested i both simulated ad actual user eviromets to esure that the product works as iteded. Further, customer iput o prototypes is gathered from a test market. vi. Maufacturig Process: Maufacturig drawigs are prepared, productio plaig is carried out, ad sourcig requiremets are determied before the full-scale productio of the product starts. vii. Product Lauch: Product catalogs, user mauals, istallatio ad maiteace mauals, ad marketig material are prepared. Requisite pre-market otificatio to regulatory authorities is completed followed by the product lauch. Feedback o the product from ed users followig the lauch is collected, aalyzed ad corrective actios are implemeted i subsequet product versios.

6 There are toll gates at the ed of every phase; these are decisio makig milestoes to track progress i terms of the queries below. How well product requiremets are beig met across every phase of the developmet process. Whether the product beig developed is aliged to the compay s strategy. Whether the developmet of the product ca progress to the ext phase. These tollgates also help set priorities for assigig resources to product developmet activities.. Challeges i the Product Developmet Process There are several challeges that the OEMs face durig product developmet. (Figure 3): Productivity improvemet Reduced developmet time & cost Quality Focus New Techologies Challeges i Product Developmet Chagig Requiremets Multi Discipliary teams Diverse Market Needs Global Parters / Suppliers Figure 3 Challeges i Product Developmet Focus o quality right from the early stages of developmet that ca guard agaist errors detected later that might be costly/difficult to fix. Agility to respod to chagig requiremets of the ed customer durig the developmet of a ew product, while simultaeously meetig product-lauch schedules. Esurig seamless collaboratio of multi-discipliary teams / globally distributed teams durig product developmet. Focus o iovatio so as to develop iovative products employig ewer techologies, more features ad icreased value. Cotiuous improvemet of developmet processes to demostrate better productivity,reduced product developmet time ad costs. 6

7 Clear uderstadig of regulatory/homologatio requiremets of differet markets ad their icorporatio ito the desig ad developmet processes. Esurig that the suppliers ad parters uderstad the objectives of product developmet The OEMs eed to take a systemic approach to maage these challeges that spread across differet phases of product developmet so that their busiess objectives are met. I additio, OEMs also eed to estimate their ability to meet cost, quality ad schedule goals durig product developmet so that they remai competitive. I this paper, the authors will discuss how the CMMI Model ca be leveraged by OEMs to maage ad improve their product lifecycle processes from cocept to delivery ad maiteace. Capability Maturity Model CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Itegratio) for Developmet formulated by the Software Egieerig [3] Istitute (SEI) is a process improvemet maturity model for developmet of products. Eve though it has bee widely adopted by IT compaies for software developmet, this model with its comprehesive itegrated approach coverig processes from cocept to delivery ad maiteace of a product ca be used by OEMs across ay idustry. [4] As per a 2010 SEI report, out of 4222 orgaizatios that have reported their CMMI appraisal results, 24.2% are ito Egieerig ad Maagemet services ad 15.7% are ito maufacturig of idustrial machiery ad equipmet, electroics ad electrical equipmet, trasportatio equipmet, ad other istrumets ad products. CMMI has bee developed based o best practices i product developmet ad maiteace activities of differet orgaizatios. It focuses o improvig processes addressig key dimesios of a orgaizatio, amely, People, Procedures, Tools ad Techology (Figure 4). Dimesios i a Orgaizatio People Processes Procedures Tools / Techology Figure 4 Key Dimesios i a Orgaizatio 7

8 The CMMI Model lays emphasis o processes to leverage People ad their kowledge to ehace product developmet activities ad icrease scalability. Tools to improve productivity ad reduce time to market. New techology to improve competitiveess of products. Procedures to itegrate globally distributed developmet teams to esure cosistet product quality. The model ca also be used as a guide to develop processes, appraise curret processes ad improve the processes related to ay disciplie of product developmet, amely, mechaical, electrical, electroic ad software as well as other orgaizatioal processes that are essetial for effective ad efficiet product developmet. Subsequet sectios will cover the key aspects of the CMMI framework that will help OEMs to improve their product developmet activities. Key Aspects of CMMI Framework The CMMI framework provides a evolutioary path comprisig the followig 5 maturity levels to improve processes i a orgaizatio (Figure 5): 1. Iitial: I this level, processes are ad hoc ad iformal. 2. Maaged: I this level, there are disciplied processes for maagig projects. 3. Defied: I this level, there are stadard processes to esure cosistecy across Orgaizatio. 4. Quatitatively Maaged: I this level, the orgaizatio ca predict the performace of processes with respect to their objectives. 5. Optimizig: I this level, processes are cotiually improved. Each maturity level comprises specific ad geeric practices for a defied set of process areas ad maturity levels are measured through achievemet of specific ad geeric goals attached to each process area. Illustrated below is a stage-wise represetatio of the model that ca provide orgaizatios with a structured way for process improvemet so they ca, at ay give time, focus their efforts o a maageable umber of process areas. A orgaizatio may also choose to improve performace of a sigle process that has issues; cotiuous represetatio of the CMMI Model with capability levels ca be used i this case. I CMMI, processes i a orgaizatio are grouped ito 4 categories: Egieerig Processes Project Maagemet Processes Process Maagemet Processes Support Processes 8

9 Project Maagemet Processes Cotiuously Improvig Process Level 5 Optimizig Project Maagemet Processes Predictable Process Level 4 Quatitatively Maaged Stadard Cosistet Process Level 3 Defied Disciplied Process Level 2 Maaged Adhoc Iformal Process Level 1 Iitial Egieerig Processes Capability Maturity Model Itegrated Developmet Support Processes Figure 5 CMMI Framework While the Egieerig Processes of CMMI cover the activities of Product Developmet Process explaied earlier, Project Maagemet, Process Maagemet ad Support processes cover activities eeded for successful completio of a project ad for istitutioalizig the processes across the orgaizatio. I subsequet sectios, we will go through the best practices provided by the CMMI framework i each of the above process categories that product developmet orgaizatios ca adopt. Egieerig Processes CMMI provides egieerig processes that are eeded to trasform customer eeds ad requiremets ito a complete product; these cover etire product lifecycles ad ca be used by ay egieerig disciplie/departmet mechaical, electrical, software, ad so o ivolved i product developmet i a orgaizatio (Figure 6). The Egieerig Processes are: Requiremets Developmet Requiremets Maagemet Techical Solutio Product Itegratio Verificatio Validatio 9

10 Egieerig Processes Verificatio Product Itegratio Validatio Egieerig Process Techical Solutio Requiremets Developmet Requiremet Maagemet Egieerig Processes cover etire Product Developmet Lifecycle Some of the key practices eabled by CMMI across the above processes are: i. Requiremets Developmet: Elicitig eeds of stakeholders - customers, ed users, desigers, testers, suppliers, maufacturers, ad service persoel. Traslatig eeds ito products, compoets ad iterface requiremets. Developig cocepts / scearios to defie product eviromet, its fuctioalities, boudaries ad costraits. Prototypig / simulatio to validate the requiremets. Figure 6 Egieerig Processes ii. Requiremets Maagemet: Establishig a uderstadig of the requiremets with the product developmet teams. Esurig commitmet to requiremets from the customer as well as project teams. Maagig ay chages to requiremets based o the evaluatio of impact to cost, effort, schedule ad product performace. Maitaiig bi-directioal traceability betwee requiremets ad work products. Esurig cosistecy betwee requiremets ad project pla / activities. iii. Techical Solutio: Evaluatig ad selectig desig cocepts that coform to product requiremets. Developig detailed desig from the selected desig cocept, alog with maufacturig details of the compoets ad products. 10

11 iv. Product Itegratio: v. Verificatio: vi. Validatio: Assemblig compoets ito a product while adherig to requiremets cocerig assembly, exteral iterfaces, ad product fuctioalities. Packagig ad deliverig the product/compoet to the customer. Reviewig compoets/products agaist specific requiremets at differet stages of the product developmet lifecycle. Esurig that the compoet/product fulfills its iteded use i the iteded eviromet. Ivolvig ed users ad other stakeholders i product validatio. The Egieerig Processes provide a systems egieerig approach to product developmet ad emphasize cocurret developmet. Also, the CMMI framework esures that these egieerig processes (for example, Requiremets Developmet, Verificatio, ad so o) are applied repeatedly durig product developmet so that quality i all compoets of the product is esured before delivery to customer. Project Maagemet Processes These are project-level processes for plaig, moitorig, ad cotrollig the project, maagig project risks, maagig project stakeholders ad suppliers ad applyig statistical techiques to maage process ad product quality (Figure 7). Project Maagemet Processes are: Project Plaig Project Moitorig ad Cotrol Supplier Agreemet Maagemet Itegrated Project Maagemet Risk Maagemet Quatitative Project Maagemet Project Maagemet Processes Work Breakdow Structure Project Estimatio Project Plaig Task Allocatio Schedule Trackig Effort Trackig Issue Trackig Supplier Agreemet Maagemet Quatitative Project Maagemet Project Plaig Project Maagemet Project Moitorig & Cotrol Itegrated Project Maagemet Risk Trackig & migratio Metrics collectio & aalysis Stakeholder Pla Supplier Maagemet Pla Traiig Pla Corrective actios Risk Maagemet Figure 7 Project Maagemet Processes 11

12 Some of the key practices eabled by CMMI withi Project Maagemet are: i. Project Plaig: Developig a Work Breakdow Structure for orgaizig the project scope ito maageable work uits. Developig Estimatio Models ad estimatig project effort, schedule ad cost. Defiig Project Life Cycle phases ad decisio-makig tollgates. Developig detailed project plas icorporatig budget ad schedule, while cosiderig costraits, depedecies, ad risks. Developig data maagemet pla pertaiig to access ad security of product desig ad developmet data across itegrated product developmet teams. Establishig Resources Pla, Competecy Developmet Pla, ad Stakeholder Ivolvemet Pla. Obtaiig commitmet from stakeholders. ii. Project Moitorig ad Cotrol: Moitorig of project elemets schedule, cost, effort, resources, skill levels, risks, ad stakeholder ivolvemet. Coductig project ad milestoe reviews. Takig corrective actio whe there is a deviatio from the project pla. iii. Supplier Agreemet Maagemet: Idetifyig compoets / products that are to be acquired from suppliers. Selectig suppliers based o established criteria. Establishig supplier agreemets. Evaluatig supplier performace as defied i agreemets. Evaluatig products from suppliers. iv. Itegrated Project Maagemet: Establishig project processes tailored to a orgaizatio s stadard processes. Esurig that all stakeholders of itegrated project teams uderstad the shared visio of the project. Esurig that the stakeholders perform their activities for successful completio of the project. Storig project documets ad experieces i the orgaizatio s process assets library. v. Risk Maagemet: Idetifyig risks i the desig, maufacturig, assembly ad service of the product. Determiig the impact ad the probability of occurrece of risks. Usig a risk database to idetify sources of risk. Prioritizig the risks for mitigatio. Establishig risk maagemet strategy. vi. Quatitative Project Maagemet: Applyig statistical techiques to maage the process ad quality objectives of the Project. Takig corrective actios wheever there are process variatios due to special causes. 12

13 Project Maagemet Processes offered by the CMMI Framework provide a systematic approach to orgaizatios ivolved i product developmet by esurig timely ivolvemet of relevat stakeholders i the product lifecycle ad esure effective maagemet of all elemets of product developmet for accomplishig the objectives of the project. Process Maagemet Processes These are orgaizatio level processes to pla ad deploy process improvemets, to defie stadard processes ad assets, to idetify traiig eeds ad develop traiig programs, to develop a quatitative uderstadig of performace of processes, to deploy icremetal ad iovative improvemets across a orgaizatio (Figure 8). Process Maagemet Processes are: Orgaizatioal Process Focus Orgaizatioal Process Defiitio Orgaizatioal Traiig Orgaizatioal Process Performace Orgaizatioal Iovatio ad Deploymet Process Maagemet Processes Orgaizatioal Process Focus Product Lifecycle Processes / Tailorig Guidace Best Practices / Product Lifecycle Processes / Tailorig Guidace Best Practices / Orgaizatioal Process Defiitio Strategic Objectives Orgaizatioal Process Performace Product Lifecycle Processes / Tailorig Guidace Best Practices / Product Lifecycle Processes / Tailorig Guidace Best Practices / Orgaizatioal Traiig Orgaizatioal Iovatio ad Deploymet Product Lifecycle Processes / Tailorig Guidace Best Practices / Figure 7 Project Maagemet Processes 13

14 Some of the key practices i Process Maagemet are i. Orgaizatioal Process Focus: Creatig a process group to Defie objectives of processes Idetify improvemets to orgaizatioal processes based o: process measuremets experieces from earlier projects product feedback bechmarkig with other orgaizatios fidigs from appraisals/audits Deploy improvemets Moitor deploymet to esure that the defied quality ad process performace objectives are met ii. Orgaizatioal Process Defiitio: Developig a process asset library comprisig stadard processes for product lifecycles Developig tailorig guidelies to help the projects derive their processes from the orgaizatio s stadard processes Sharig of best practices ad lessos leart across project teams iii.
