Abstract

Design has acquired a crucial role, developing alongside the profound changes that have taken place in the automotive industry. To increase the efficiency of this design work, we are helping with the development and widespread use of new design tools capable of enabling remote collaborative design. One of these tools – digital mock-ups – seems to be becoming essential. The aim of this article is to show why and how automotive manufacturers should concern themselves not only with tools but also with the evolution of the governance principles regarding design activities. The benefits for a community-based organization, connected to the current platform-based design organization, will therefore be examined.
