The document provides an overview of the automotive startup landscape and emerging trends in automotive technology. Some key points:
- The automotive industry has evolved from craft production to mass production to lean manufacturing approaches, creating barriers for new startups.
- Automotive 3.0 focuses less on the vehicle and more on services like connectivity, ridesharing, and autonomous vehicles enabled by advances in software and mobile technology.
- The US, India, China, Israel and Germany have large numbers of automotive startups concentrated in areas like transportation technology, electric vehicles, and connected cars. Total funding for automotive startups has grown significantly from $18B in 2010 to over $40B in 2016.
The semiconductor industry is undergoing dynamic changes as technology challenges escalate due to the end of scaling and declining prices/shortening lifecycles. R&D and manufacturing investment requirements are becoming unaffordable for many smaller companies. As a result, companies globally are adopting an "asset-lite" strategy and manufacturing is moving offshore to large-scale foundries. Revenue growth of the IC industry will remain lower than traditional rates in the single digits rather than double digits, though productivity will still improve at lower rates. Partnerships will be important for development, manufacturing, and delivering technology leadership given mounting investment needs.

Ericsson Technology Review: Spotlight on the Internet of ThingsEricsson
The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a fundamental cornerstone in the digitalization of both industry and society as a whole. It represents a huge opportunity not only in economic terms, but also from a global challenges perspective – making it easier for governments, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to address pressing food, energy, water and climate related issues.
5G and the IoT are closely intertwined. One of the biggest innovations within 5G is support for the IoT in all its forms, both by addressing mission criticality as well as making it possible to connect low-cost, long-battery-life sensors.
With this in mind, we decided to create a special issue of Ericsson Technology Review solely focused on IoT opportunities and challenges. I hope it provides you with valuable insights about the IoT-related opportunities available to your organization, along with ideas about how we can overcome the challenges ahead.
AT&S presented financial results for Q1-3 2019/20. Revenue declined slightly to €753.2 million from challenging market conditions, though remained within target margins. EBITDA fell to €156.4 million due to higher R&D and preparation costs for future applications. The automotive segment performed steadily despite difficulties, while industrial was weaker. Ongoing investments in IC substrate capacity will support long-term growth opportunities in high-performance computing.

A project sponsored in 2010 by the Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute (AVSI), AFE 74, engaged a community of reliability subject matter experts to develop a reliability prediction technology roadmap based on a collaborative quality function deployment (QFD) industry assessment. The QFD provided a means to capture multiple viewpoints in a detailed enumeration of the needs, priorities and potential solutions for new reliability prediction methods to better support reliable system design processes. The discussions that were inspired by conducting this QFD provided an opportunity to open communications on some very divisive reliability prediction issues and helped bring the community together to solve the challenges of improving the utility of reliability predictions for the future. This presentation summarizes the findings of each step of the QFD, the reliability predictions roadmap derived from the QFD and discusses steps being taken to implement the roadmap..

Complexity in Industrial ERP: Getting Back to One Version of the Truthcharlesrathmann
Multi mode manufacturing and increased diversification in business models across all industrial sectors is straining the capabilities of many standard enteprise resource planning (ERP) products. This study from IFS North America and Mint Jutras reveals how some highly complex companies need to run as many as seven different types of enterprise applications. Engineer to order manufacturers, engineering procurement and constrution contractors and process manufacturers proved to be the most complex.
Complexity in Industrial ERP:Getting Back to One Version of the TruthCharles Rathmann
This study surveyed 200 manufacturing executives to understand how well ERP systems meet complex business needs. It found:
1) Manufacturers face increasing complexity from diversifying into more demanding models.
2) Integration is key to support new models but many rely on multiple applications, increasing costs and inefficiency.
3) Processes like defense, aftermarket service, and asset maintenance require the most applications on average.
4) Better project management integration supports processes like projects and manufacturing more effectively.

INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE RESEARCH
Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) has emerged as one of the major outsourcing
initiatives in the last decade among the engineering and manufacturing organizations.
With the growth of reliable communication systems the new globalization paradigm
has changed from products that can be manufactured anywhere to services that can be
rendered anywhere.
This research is intended to understand the primary drivers to engineering
outsourcing, the trends and cues from the practitioners. The broad parameters
surveyed and analyzed were:
Outsourcing trends
Top outsourcing destinations
Outsourcing partner selection criteria
Type of engineering work outsourced
· Prevalent engagement models
“The survey was conducted with a broad range of manufacturing companies
spread across geographies and revenues. The underlying idea was to get these
details from the practitioners and hence the survey was targeted at senior
engineering professionals in over a 100 manufacturing companies.”

CONCLUSION
Based on the survey analysis, it is clear that Engineering Services Outsourcing is a
practice that is fast catching up with manufacturers. Almost all manufacturers are faced
with typical engineering challenges of reducing budgets and pressures of faster, better
and cheaper product development. With the availability of advanced communication
technologies, global delivery of services has been made much easier, which is evident
from the continuous growth of outsourcing of services from the manufacturing
industry. Most small and mid-market manufacturing companies are also talking about
outsourcing and it is no longer a service accessible only by the large companies.
While outsourcing presents a huge opportunity beyond doubt, it also comes with its
share of challenges such as IP security and communication. The more established
service providers have clearly defined processes and systems to handle these and that is
what manufacturing companies are looking for. The expectation is that the service
providers will lead them into a smooth outsourcing relationship through a process
based approach.
Most manufacturers acknowledge that their outsourcing relationships have been
successful because they believed that outsourcing is a long-term strategy for their
organizations and have taken the right steps to ensure that these relationships grow and
prosper.
The following are some criteria that stand out for evaluating suitable engineering
outsourcing service providers among others.
1. Availability of customizable engagement models with scalability to offer
flexibility to manage sudden spikes
2. Availability of a global delivery model for better communication and ease of
operation
3. Access to large pool of appropriate skills
4. A process driven approach to outsourcing
5. The ability to drive SLA based engagements
