Research On Development Management Of NGC Liquid-Cooled Intercooler Project

With the rapid economic growth of countries,people purchasing power for automotive increases a lot.In order to seize the market and customers,automobile manufacturers have diversified requirements on product functions.In addition,too many vehicle manufacturers want to seize the market,and fierce price wars make the profit of individual products less and less.This inevitably requires complete vehicle parts suppliers to shorten the product development and production cycle requirements as far as possible,research and development costs as far as possible to decrease.Like this,project management,as a scientific management system,has been introduced into the automobile industry.It is expected that the systematic management of the project by the project manager will enable the new products to be launched into the market more quickly,and the r&d cost and production cost of the products will be reduced.The key is that monitor entire and actual process and take possible and necessary corrective actions to meet original schedule basing on the current project progress and status.Project managers cannot simply assume that issues will disappear without any actions on it--it can never happen.Be able to make a regularly updated project schedule based on actual progress and other possible changes,and predict whether the project will be completed ahead of schedule or behind schedule.In the SAIC-GM NGC liquid-cooled intercooler project,due to the mismatch between the customer’s required development cycle and the actual development cycle required by the project,the time difference was nearly one year,which should not only meet the customer’s demand for development time,but also ensure the product quality and quantity output.Between the above situations,this article will take the M company’s research and development project management processes,project progress management system and method,and author’s experience used in the project management,scientific analysis of NGC + liquid inter-cooled M company project schedule management,there are advantages and disadvantages,in turn,adapt the concrete methods to solve the problem,provide reference for the project schedule control system and model,so that you can give M company in the future new project brings positive and effective role in process control,provide valuable material for it.
