Number: MER000422U Mercedes-Benz Group AG is one of the most successful automotive companies in the world. With Mercedes-Benz AG and Mercedes-Benz Cars, Mercedes-Benz Vans and Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG, the company is one of the leading providers of premium cars. Quality and highest customer satisfaction are the focus of all activities. As part of the quality management of Mercedes-Benz Cars, we are shaping the early phase of the product development of our Mercedes-Benz series in the Quality Interior department. Already in early stages of development, we lay the foundation for excellent product quality and a high customer value through well-founded evaluations and structured decision bases. A central element of our work is the transparent assessment of concepts, components and competition vehicles in order to be able to resolve target conflicts between cost, quality and customer perspective in a sound manner in in interdisciplinary decision-making bodies. These challenges come to you: A digital application for the structured competitive analysis of vehicle components is to be developed as part of this master thesis. The aim is to support decision-making processes in quality management through a transparent, weighted and comparable assessment of competition vehicles and their components. The work combines methodological quality work, digital tool application and a realistic industrial application in the context of early vehicle development at Mercedes‐Benz. Initial situation In interdisciplinary decision-making bodies of vehicle development, target conflicts between costs, quality and customer benefits must be regularly assessed. In particular, at component level (e.g. door panels, center console, decorative parts) a rapidly available, structured and comparable competitive overview is frequently missing in order to establish qualitative requirements. Existing competitive analyses are often available in different formats, with uneven evaluation criteria and limited comparability. This results in a need for a uniform, digital and modular expandable solution for decision support.

Objective of the Master's thesis The aim of the Master's thesis is to design and prototypical implementation of a Component Competition App that: Competitive vehicles and their components Component-specific quality and equipment characteristics making these features comparable by means of defined weightings and The results for decision-making bodies are structured and visualized so that both visual comparisons and data-based argumentations are possible. The solution is to be based exclusively on standard tools from the Microsoft‐365 environment (Microsoft Lists, Power Apps, Power BI, etc.) to ensure the closeness of practice, scalability and portability. The activity can begin from June 2026.
