Cars are ranked in the top 5 most expensive goods and the manufacturers know it. The amount of money and effort that goes into the design, engineering and production is titanic. In this article I will outline these 3 main areas.
Design
As well as being the basis for the rest of the project, the design phase of the automotive industry is where the new research is put into play. The marketers will be out looking for customer complaints and suggestions to adjust the designs to suit the needs of the consumers. Software will be used to present, adjust and improve repetitively. The design is not limited to the end product but will also identify resources, factories and machinery required for the entire production line in some detail.

Engineering
In this phase models and prototypes many are made of everything, from the engine parts to the entire car in miniature size and in full scale size. Materials are defined and adjusted to suit the environments and drivers who will be using the vehicle. There are many independent engineering process which must be conducted the chassis, suspension, engine and transmission, cooling and heating, lighting, electrical, aerodynamics are just a few of the things that should be looked at.

Production
Final touches are implemented to ensure the vehicle is up to government standards. Pre-production cars are built and the vehicle is all but finished. By this stage factory should be ready and key personnel should have been trained. Agreements and contracts with dealerships will be drafted and signed.
