Creating the illusion of simplicity Need for simplifying complex systems In the presence of essential complexity, establishing simplicity in one part of a system requires trading off complexity in another
Automotive system complexity Why? Customer demands for greater overall vehicle performance and comfort Growing need for CO2 / NOx / Particulate reduction Growing complexity of the powertrains Reliability and quality Fuel economy Luxury vehicles can contain up to 100 Electronic Control Units Availability of more memory and microprocessor speed have provided the design engineers with greater flexibility, but also has driven greater complexity.

Cross Sectorial Cooperation Seeking Simplify
Complexity in Interactions!!!!
Meeting the Challenge to Simplify Government and Industry need to work together to address the image of manufacturing and engineering Perkins Review We in industry have a responsibility to explain and 'sell' the work we do more proactively Governments have a responsibility to use the levers at their disposal to support and promote the shortage of Engineers and Technicians Industry must take responsibility to be even more proactive and to channel resources in to streamlining this complex state The Royal Academy of Engineering s engineering skills project: marketing the dream 28

UK Automotive Skills Roadmap Automotive Industrial Strategy - Driving success a strategy for growth and sustainability in the UK automotive sector
Ministerial Announcement and Launch GOVERNMENT AND AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY START THE MOTOR ON 30 MILLION SKILLS INVESTMENT Business Secretary Vince Cable said: This investment puts our automotive sector in the driving seat to design the skills our manufacturing companies need. There is a risk that without adequate investment in skills, the industry will run into serious skills bottlenecks. Through our industrial strategy we are working in partnership with the automotive sector as it goes from strength to strength. We are providing businesses with the confidence to invest, and to create high skilled jobs. Official Launch Event on 12 March @ House of Lords
AIP Partners Automotive Investment Organisation
The Industry s Vision complete To take responsibility for, and to transform, the end-to-end skills system for the sector, enabling automotive employers to attract and develop the current and future skilled workforce that we need in order to globally.
Problem Solving Examples of the Outputs of the AIP Only when you understand something you can simplify it Industry Standard Job Families and Frameworks Consensus view of the industry hot spots on specific skills Analysis of potential new skills required Career route maps for the Automotive industry to provide clarity and visibility of career progression in the Auto Sector, from school leaver to CEO. Apprenticeship Clearing House for all levels in collaboration with the Aerospace Industry
By 2020 the AIP will help deliver 10,000 more apprentices recruited by OEMs and SMEs 2,000 more graduates choosing the Automotive sector for a career Up-skilled workforce to meet the production challenges of tomorrow A collective, representative voice for the sector; advising, informing and supporting the development of UK skill policy
Conclusion and Wrap-Up No Silver Bullets
Summary UK Automotive Industry is booming and vehicle production is continuing to climb Customer and Legislative demands are increasing complexity and therefore a increase in specific skills Availability of skills is a the single biggest strategic challenge to sustaining growth Collaboration externally is key to accelerate skills development and recruitment as well as driving simplicity in the skills system Engineers key skill set is to solve problems or Crises We now need to get on with it..
