Robustifying the Products Development from Exploration to Standardization of a Mobility Start-up
Home / Business Cases
Overview
Our client, a scale-up in the automotive industry, leader in zero emission technologies, wants to robustify the products development from exploration to standardization.
KEPLER supports this client to structure the approach and to co-design with the teams the most appropriate product development system.
Context
- A willingness to become one of the Tier 1 technology leader on his market
- Current various products in development progressing in the fog with no clear prioritization criteria and no clear expected output from internal customers
- Heterogenous ways of working within the team and ways of interacting with other key functions
- A final delivery focused on the technical performance and not on the customer satisfaction
Objective(s)
Category: Accelerating Time-To-Market
- Accelerating hydrogen-related innovation / delivering concrete differentiated performance of their products regarding the market expectations
- Delivering standards (from component to system levels) optimizing applicative programs’ profitability
- Prioritizing development according to the company’s strategic ambition while securing the divergence upstream
- Improving the visibility and the interactions with applicative programs (internal customers)
The real challenges in this mission were «anticipation» and «balance». Anticipation of the needs in terms of product development system for this scale-up to be ready to penetrate the industrial world of automotive with a highly innovative solution but rightly «balanced» to preserve flexibility and agility of the start-up mode.Sebastien Grilli, Partner
