The systems design approach, an emerging concept for the automotive industry, treats the total vehicle as one system, as opposed to the result of a grouping of optimized components. The systems process begins with a complete definition of the system requirements, is followed by the examination of technologies and generation of alternatives to satisfy those requirements, and concludes with the final development and proveout of the recommended alternative. The advantages of a systems design approach are illustrated through an explanation of six types of systems designs. There are inhibitors which result from the realities of the automotive industry and also drivers which help implement the concept. It is concluded that implementing the systems design approach will require skills and affects not only product engineering but also manufacturing and the supply base. It also forces rethinking of traditional concepts of dealing with quality.
