Number: MER0003UGQ Mercedes-Benz Group AG is one of the most successful automotive companies in the world. With Mercedes-Benz AG, the vehicle manufacturer is one of the largest providers of premium and luxury cars and vans. The mobility of tomorrow is not a coincidence, but is based on data-driven decisions. Innovative ideas and their implementation change the world. Intelligent IT solutions allow us to do things that have been unthinkable until recently. The development of line sets in the automotive industry is a highly complex process that takes into account a variety of components, interfaces and boundary conditions. In order to increase efficiency and to optimize quality, so-called reference models are used which enable a standardized and reusable representation of development processes. At Mercedes-Benz, an extensive component database is used to manage and provide component information, which plays a central role in the development process. The aim of this thesis is to analyze and compare different reference models for the development of the line set and to evaluate their applicability in the context of the Mercedes-Benz component database. Based on the results, concrete recommendations for action for efficient integration of reference models in the development process are to be derived These challenges include: Identification and detailed description of relevant reference models for line set development

Comparative analysis of models with regard to strengths, weaknesses, areas of application and underlying concepts

Investigation of the component types contained in the database and their relevance for line set development

Comparison of component types with respect to properties, functions and applications

Identification of synergies, potentials and challenges in integration into the development process and suggestions for optimising the component database

deriving recommendations for the selection and adaptation of suitable reference models in the context of the Mercedes-Benz leadership set development
