Through a common understanding of the system to better success!
The time to develop products to market maturity is decreasing more and more. Especially in mechanical and plant engineering, development time is increasingly becoming a success factor. Intensifying technological progress and the demand for ever more flexible, modular products are also creating increased demands on development.
But how can the demand for faster market travel be implemented sensibly and safely – without investing additional resources?

More InformationSimply reducing the target times for a project is not enough to make it a success in a shorter time. Even closer reviews or controlling measures do not help. A methodological approach is needed that has proven itself in other sectors of the economy and aims to parallelize the processes.
Parallelization cannot be prescribed. The prerequisite for parallelization is a common understanding of the system, because this is the only way for the departments to communicate and independently process their subsystems and bring them back together without conflicts.
On the basis of the (customer) requirements, a common system understanding is generated between all areas involved. This is the starting point for successful communication and coordination of the work and thus successful parallel development work.
Your advantages with iQUAVIS
- Entire development projects and project management incl. Cost management in one place
- A presentation of the common understanding of the system adapted to your development process
- A central point of contact for all important information (e.g. requirements, functions, system elements, tests, test results)
- Display of all necessary information in an individual form of representation, e.g. tree structures and diagrams, always up-to-date – even in the event of changes
- Always up-to-date with the latest status of the work – enables parallelization

Initial situation: Common understanding of the system
Through their common understanding of the system, you can effectively overview the components of the system and their interrelationships and visualize them for all project participants. It forms the common starting point of the development team and is the key to parallel work. By linking requirements via functions into the elements of the system, dependencies and changes can be traced at any time without having to repeatedly examine correlations from scratch.

Simultaneous start of development
At an early stage, the requirements, functions and boundary conditions of the project are clear to all participants – this enables the simultaneous start of the work. Clarity and verifiability are generated across all system components through a common overall understanding of the system and coordination efforts and waiting times are minimized. It is developed together at a project level and iterative development loops and errors are reduced. This reduces the development time and costs and increases the accuracy of your development in the first step.
