Future Product Creation

Prioritize and fund potential innovation projects from a venture capitalist's perspective.

Uncertain and volatile markets, technologies with exponential growth rates and shorter product life cycles due to digital transformation require a different mindset to stay relevant and sustainable as a company.

What does this mean for innovation from a venture capitalist's perspective?

• Accepting failure. On average, less than 1% of startups actually become unicorns.
• Limit risks. View innovation as a call option on future performance, to fail early and controllably if necessary.

With the MHP "innovation sprint approach", we have firmly anchored this perspective of a venture capitalist in our service as well as used it variously and successfully with our clients. In that way, we also guarantee a secure risk limitation for your company and an increase in your innovation success.

From traditional, sequential product development to a continuous and data-driven closed-loop approach.

Disruptions, regulatory pressure and new value creation structures present companies with major challenges in product development.

That's why the goal of our "New PEP" approach is to work with you to make your product development process more agile, faster and more digital in order to react flexibly and efficiently to disruptions and changes.

MHP's "New PEP" approach focuses on your company. Your requirements are taken into account throughout the entire process to enable customer-oriented products and business model innovations for you.

Optimized process planning and launch with multi-speed, traceability and compliance: in our model-based, data-driven "New PEP" approach, we generate a digital twin of your structures and processes and create continuous improvement through data-driven feedback loops until product launch. Through tailored processes to strengthen collaboration and circular economy, we ensure efficient, sustainable use of resources throughout your lifecycle.

From conception to integration: We support you in the implementation of the latest connectivity solutions in the automotive industry.

Constantly growing importance of digital services, networked components and safety-relevant software make vehicles a highly complex product. We support you in implementing the major mobility trends. In doing so, our team of MHP experts offer comprehensive know-how for the design, development and integration of new connectivity solutions - from 5G networks for vehicles to car-to-X communication via all wireless technologies.

Architectural co-development of over-the-air (OTA) technologies, end-to-end developments of digital services (inside and outside the vehicle), and adaptation of technical platforms enable new services and data collection for Future Vehicle Generation use cases. With our cross-departmental functional responsibility in ideation, conception and operational development as well as responsibility for complex ECUs and supplier control, we are your reliable partner for software/hardware and digital services.

Robust development processes and compliance with high-quality standards using Automotive SPICE.

Structured, transparent, and quality-assured development processes are crucial for competitiveness and safeguard the value chains between OEMs and suppliers. Specifically, for all components that include software, these components must be validated according to A-SPICE®. In this context, the supplier must demonstrate a maturity level required by the OEM. But how can processes—and thus products—be improved?

We offer introductory training sessions (“What is A-SPICE?”, “Which processes must be validated according to A-SPICE?”), advise development teams, and prepare them for the A-SPICE® assessment. The same applies to the OEM, whose processes must also be validated. In addition, we conduct potential analyses to ensure the supplier’s eligibility for contract award. We offer coaching and consulting (all quality-related measures) throughout the entire product development process, both at the OEM and within the supply chain.

Make complexity manageable by establishing end-to-end traceability in your value-added processes.

Ever-shorter product lifecycles, coupled with rapidly increasing volumes of data, are leading to growing complexity in your processes. This requires a shift in thinking not only about how products are developed, but also about which systems and processes support them.

Traceability enables transparency throughout the entire value chain by linking existing data—particularly requirements as well as validation and verification results—in a tool-independent manner. This allows you to identify critical dependencies and respond to a constantly changing environment in a targeted and timely manner.

Based on our many years of experience as a management and IT consulting firm, we have developed an innovative traceability approach that can be implemented in a tool-independent and scalable manner across your value chain, including partners and suppliers.

Increasing development complexity and compliance requirements can be managed with a high-quality and up-to-date data basis.

The development of smart products requires the coordinated interaction of mechanical, electronic and software components. The various development cycles take place in the physical world and increasingly also in the virtual world.

High-quality and up-to-date data form the common basis for this complex development landscape. Thus, they enable the smooth interaction of the different development areas and teams and form the basis of any digitization.

MHP has years of experience with the organization and processes of product development. In combination with the opportunities offered by modern IT technologies, we generate a unique consulting approach for your future product creation.
