Analysis
Audi Electronic Fault Information System (ELFIS)Success Story
Headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany, AUDI AG is one of the major manufacturers of luxury cars and is a 99%-owned subsidiary (as of 2004) of Volkswagen, the largest car manufacturer in Europe. Audi produces more than 960,000 cars per year with several renowned models in its line-up of A-series cars, which include the A4, A6, and A8.
The In 2005 Audi faced 7 autonomous IT systems for 2 plants with 5 production lines. These systems were used for electronics and mechanical fault documentation, cause analysis and reporting. Each system by itself did not cover all aspects of fault/cause data handling. Missing interoperability and scalability, divergent user interfaces and insular databases also posed a challenge.
The Solution
Between 2005 and 2009, EB developed in successful cooperation with Audi production planning, line and IT departments an all-in-one IT system with advanced functionality to succeed the existing ones. EB provided the entire application software, using up-to-date Java Spring web application and Oracle database technology, as well as the overall development lifecycle based on agile methods.
The Benefit
With the new system Audi is able to address fault handling for electronic and mechanical parts in production in a single unified process for several German as well as international plants and production lines. A central component is the joint capture of faults and their causes based on a single object naming terminology.
