Product Data Management in Vehicle Development

As a working student, I initiated a project to enable product data management in vehicle development within the in-house inventory software jEDWIN. The existing approach of managing product data in spreadsheets and exchanging it with customers and suppliers caused significant data inconsistencies, since product data represents a graph rather than a tree structure.

I developed a concept and a prototype, validated it with a vehicle development team, and dedicated my bachelor’s thesis to the subject.
