Use Case: Vehicle Design Engineering

Let’s take a look at how KanBo can be used by Vehicle Design Engineers to streamline their work processes and facilitate collaboration with other design disciplines. With KanBo, Design Engineers can create a workspace for their project and invite team members to collaborate.

Within the workspace, Design Engineers can create Kanban boards to track tasks and set due dates for each task. They can also assign team members responsible for completing each task and communicate through comments.

For example, let’s say the Design Engineer needs to create high-quality drawings of the final design. Using KanBo, they can create a task in their Kanban board for this, set a due date and assign it to a team member responsible for this task. The team member can then upload the completed drawing to the Kanban card for review.

In addition to tracking tasks, KanBo provides a Mind Map view, which can be used to brainstorm ideas and find creative solutions. The Design Engineer can use this feature to collaborate with other design disciplines to find the best balance of marketability and feasibility.

Finally, KanBo’s document management system can be used to upload and share files related to the project. The Design Engineer can create document groups and folders for specific project components, from styling concepts to technological specifications. By having all the important documents in one place, the design team can save time and resources and make sure everyone is working on the same version of the file.

Overall, KanBo helps Vehicle Design Engineers to streamline their work processes, track tasks, and collaborate with other disciplines. And the best part is that KanBo integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Office, allowing users to leverage their existing skills to achieve better results.
