Abstract
Organization and management are becoming more important factors for the sourcing of automotive parts since R&D of Automotive new product becomes ever more complex. It has to consider many subjects including fuel consumption (CO2 reduction etc.), fuel economy, and safety and weight reduction. This leads to a high workload over a compressed time and thus a reduced "thinking time" for cost, investment reductions and parts quality control by production. This research introduces a method for profit improvement, investment reduction and quality control for safety. This is from the view point of organization and schedule management of "Monozukuri" for early stages of development.
