Department
Within the last decade, the rapid rate of technological changes and shortened product lifecycles have resulted in renewed focus of DAF Trucks on its New Product Development (NPD) process. Electrical and electronic systems and embedded software platforms will play an increasingly important role in the success of DAF reflected in new programs as Connectivity and Advanced Driving Assistance Systems ( ADAS ). Suppliers contribute significantly to the competitiveness of DAF and playing an increasingly important role within the New Product Development projects of Connectivity and ADAS systems. Embedded software leads to shifts in value creation and makes it necessary for DAF purchasing to critically reflect its current supply chain strategy in order to align hardware and software development.
