Supplier Participation in Development
Design-In
As Honda is heavily dependent on the outsourcing of parts, design-in activities are crucial to successful development and production.
Design-in is a process in which engineers from suppliers work together with our engineers in the early stage of the vehicle development, in order to better utilize the suppliers' expertise which will help us to develop the best design in the shortest timeframe.
In prototype development, suppliers are expected to follow the development cycle, identified below, until a mutual agreement between both parties is reached on the best design. Of course the time requirement of each development event must be strictly met.
Thus we can identify any potential problems and take necessary countermeasures long before reaching the production stage.
To participate in the Design-in program, both of the following conditions must be met.
1. Parts
An example of parts that we consider suitable for this program is a part in which the suppliers' technology/know-how can best be utilized in the earliest stages of development.
2. Suppliers
Suppliers we choose to work together with in this program are those evaluated and selected in the light of the criteria of competitiveness, "Q.C.D.D.M." described above.
GUEST ENGINEERS
Design-in suppliers developing parts which have a high inter-relationship in fit or function with other parts may be asked to participate as a guest engineer. Suppliers' engineers actually work at Honda R&D facilities hand-in-hand with Honda engineers from the very early stage of development. The Guest Engineer program helps Honda's local procurement efforts and spurs the development of new technologies by both suppliers and Honda.
