Recently, FCA officially announced that a new global product development organization will be established within the group, aiming to re integrate and organize the group and reduce the complexity of the organizational structure, so as to accelerate the product development and technological innovation capability of FCA. It is reported that this new product development organization will be led by Harald Wester, chief technology officer of FCA, whose role is to reduce process complexity and improve delivery efficiency. The resulting efficiency gains will improve product quality while reducing the time frame for product development, which is also a key capability of the market defined by accelerating technology upgrades. Mike Manley, chief executive officer of FCA, said: "the current industry situation has never experienced technological change at the speed we see now. As a result, we are unleashing the creativity of our engineers and technologists to bring benefits to our customers and stakeholders around the world. " So far, FCA's product development has been served by multiple organizations operated by regional groups or independent units, while the new organization combines three core activities: Engineering, program execution management, and program support. The planning and execution management functions of the new organization will run through all aspects of engineering, business and brand. In the future, FCA will also implement the global vehicle planning team of the new product plan to develop customer focused, long-term architecture planning and new product recommendations. "From alpha Romeo to ram, and everything in between, our current structure has formed the most compelling and diverse product portfolio in the industry," Harald Wester said. The level of integration and integration we are currently implementing will further enrich our products in all markets. The biggest winners will be our customers. " FCA has committed to invest 9 billion euros in its five-year plan to launch 30 new electrification brands and vehicle lines around the world, including jeep, Fiat and Maserati. For example, intelligent networking and electrification, these series of reforms and changes provide greater agility for product development.
