One challenge facing automotive product development teams is the inclusion of the Human System Integration (HSI) community - consisting of human factors professionals, graphic and industrial designers, rapid prototyping software engineers, electronic hardware engineers, and systems engineers - in the Product Development Process (PDP). In order to achieve this integration, Visteon looked to the methods of systems engineering currently employed throughout the PDP. Overlaying the HSI process with an accepted systems engineering process description known as the N2 (N-squared) chart resulted in the outlining of expected inputs to the HSI process team, definitions of processes undertaken by the team, and expected outputs of those processes. The HSI-N2 chart has proven to be an accurate representation of a fairly complex set of process steps. In addition, it allows flexible adaptation of the HSI process to accommodate projects of most any size effectively describing the HSI process for simple, one week tasks as well as full-blown, multi-year development efforts. The results have been quicker development times, more effective communications within the PDP, and more effective adaptation to inevitable shifts in program direction.
