Background Il considerevole incremento della complessità nella progettazione e realizzazione dei prodotti, per soddisfare richieste di consumatori sempre più esigenti, crea molte problematiche nella gestione dei dati progettuali durante lo sviluppo. Uno dei principali problemi riscontrati dai manager e dagli ingegneri di Ferrari è rappresentato dalla difficoltà nel gestire i dati relativi alle molteplici analisi, virtuali e fisiche, e nel collegarli con le altre attività aziendali. Scopo L’obiettivo della tesi è quello di trovare una soluzione che possa aiutare a migliorare i processi di sviluppo-prodotto in Ferrari. Inizialmente, si analizzano i data flow in essere nelle attività inerenti alla progettazione e validazione dei requisiti. Raccolte le difficoltà riscontrate dagli operatori, utilizzando i concetti e gli strumenti del Product Lifecycle Management e del Systems Engineering, si fornisce un modello logico dell’intero processo di validazione, arrivando a delineare il modo più efficiente per gestire tutti i dati necessari; si sviluppa così il concetto di Simulation Lifecycle Management. Metodi L’implementazione di queste metodologie è attuata mediante l’utilizzo esclusivo di una piattaforma che integri e centralizzi tutti i dati relativi alle attività progettuali, tale da permettere la creazione di un ambiente collaborativo ed integrato, single source of truth (nel caso specifico, la 3DEXPERIENCE Platform di Dassault Systèmes). Risultati L’applicazione di questa metodologia risolve numerosi problemi legati alle difficoltà nella gestione dei molteplici dati di analisi, permettendo agli utenti di collegare i risultati delle simulazioni e dei test fisici ai modelli CAD ed alla distinta di progettazione (EBOM). Così facendo, si avvia, sviluppa e supporta la collaborazione attiva tra progettisti ed analisti, garantendo l’interoperabilità e la concatenazione dei sotto-processi associati ai vari dipartimenti aziendali. La razionalizzazione delle informazioni relative alle analisi permette di diminuire i costi legati ai prototipi fisici, ottimizzare l’utilizzo della simulazione virtuale, aumentare la qualità e le performance del veicolo e ridurre il Time-to-Market.
