2. Building Tomorrow’s Automotive Enterprise!
With growing focus on small cars, hybrids, electric vehicles, and common parts and platforms across vehicles, it is essential for
Original Equipment Manufacturers and suppliers to manage three key challenges to build tomorrow’s automotive enterprise.
• Agility
Adapt quickly to vehicle mix/variants understanding cost / value implications across the value chain
• Innovation
Adopt innovations to be on the cutting-edge and create right value for customers
• Profitability
Maximize customer opportunity to gain satisfaction, loyalty and optimize experience

3. Value Proposition
Infosys partners with automotive enterprises to systematically improve product development efficiency, optimize total product
cost, and differentiate with better products.
• Accelerate time to market by reference designs, knowledge base, modeling and simulation
We help
tools, and engineering frameworks that help fast-track development, built from working with
top global Automotive OEMs and suppliers on over 100 programs
• Innovate with design concepts, materials and technologies by bringing our expertise from
dedicated centers of excellence as well as drawing from our own experience in high-tech,
electronics and telecom domains critical to automotive engineering today
• Reduce total development costs by 30%-40% with a “factory” approach focusing on continuous
productivity improvement with frameworks, lean engineering methods, a robust system to
capture and reuse knowledge
• Optimize total product cost by identifying design attributes, costs and effect on vehicle
interaction; cost modeling to analyze cost drivers and alternatives across the engineering
value chain and optimizing design and BOM through value analysis and engineering
• Optimize total lifecycle costs in a “design factory” model with specialized services in simulation,
verification & validation and knowledge based engineering available for clients to consume
the services rather than running them
Delivering this value predictably hinges on people and capability. Our engineers are trained and certified in automotive domain
and technology areas. We continue to build expertise and capabilities in technology areas critical to automotive engineering
through dedicated Centers of Excellence e.g., hardware design, embedded software, product testing, product lifecycle management,
knowledge based engineering. Infosys’ local presence in major automotive centers such as Detroit, Los Angeles, London, Frankfurt,
Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, Chennai, Pune and many more, enables us to collaborate with your teams globally.

6. Success Stories
Seating Partnering with a global seating supplier, Infosys designed a unique solution for
easy entry seating system, clearing stringent regulatory and product
requirements. Infosys value analysis, value engineering services optimized
materials, design, parts affecting multi-million dollar costs savings across the
program lifecycle.
Interior
Systems Partnering with a tier 1 interior hard trims supplier, Infosys deployed systematic
processes and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) principles
optimizing designs to eliminate design and tooling iterations. Result: direct cost
savings of about 30%, # engineering changes reduced 18%.
Value
Engineering Infosys solutions on material selection, design optimization, and part
communization resulted in total cost optimization and savings of over 8.0 million
USD across different vehicle programs for a global tier 1 seating system supplier.
Product
Infosys performed weight optimization for a trailer where the metallic
Optimization substructure was replaced with composite substructures adopting design
practices from Aerospace.
Result: the first of a kind trailer floor re-design improved thermal performance by
80%+, lowering operating costs for fleet owners.
Navigation Infosys designed and developed a navigation solution for a European
infotainment major. Infosys also deployed innovative test setup for remote
testing using in-house DeviceAnywhere IP, increasing test coverage by over 20%.
Result: reduce support costs and field issues for new devices through accelerated
product rollout for a range of next generation navigation devices.
Telematics
and For a global automotive OEM Infosys defined the connected car technology
Infotainment foundation, service delivery architecture and also designed and developed their
next generation connected service application providing them a powerful
competitive edge.
