1. SAE and Technical Policy Analysis Shuvo Bhattacharjee ETAS Inc. – Diagnostic Systems shuvo.bhattacharjee@etas.com

2. SAE interest in consultative problem solving in the automotive industry Huge resource pool of industry professionals Pool includes experts from OEM, IAM and tool manufacturers Capability to influence legislation and find industry wide best practices E.g. J2534, and J1939 SAE wants to reach out to industry groups to find areas of partnerships NASTF is one area of interest Political neutrality of SAE analysis and output can benefit political topics Highly technical focus in problem resolution Engineering Meetings Board (SAE.EMB) has directed STPC to engage industry’ Service Technology issues STPC  Service Technology Program Committee Forum targeted towards addressing service issues collaboratively between OEM and suppliers (OEM & IAM) Objective includes technical outputs to address service technology issues What is SAE’ interest with NASTF?

3. Membership driven organization, highly specialized in service and off-board diagnostics implementation What are STPC’s activities?

4. Classical activities: Hosting technical forums at major symposium (OBD, SAE Congress, COMVEC, DoD) What are STPC’s street credentials? New drives & activities: Market survey regarding service information efficiency Survey of service technician professions (engineers, developers, technicians) Technical Analysis of political issues (Policy Center) Service Readiness Gaps Global Service Information Pictorial Service Information

5. Provide technical analysis towards resolution of complex industry issues First topic – Service Readiness Gap Championed by Mark Saxonberg and Charlie Gorman Definition: 1.Identify value of service information in OEM and IAM service centers 2.Identify areas of gap in service readiness in IAM compared to OEM dealerships 3.Identify impacts of this gap 4.Why does this gap persist? What are the drivers for this gap? 5.How can this gap be resolved most efficiently 6.Validate the proposed solution 7.Drive a recommended practice 8.Drive standardization activities What is the Policy Center?

6. Standard format for data exchange Optimized solution for tool manufacturers for data exchange between OEM, Tier 1 suppliers, IAM, etc. E.g. NA specific ODX and OTX formats Tools to process standard data format Reduce effort and cost in processing OEM data Better diagnosis of vehicles in IAM, improved customer experience Retention of key OEM IP security Improved exchange of vehicle failure data over longer life cycles Development of newer methods for prognostics and predictive diagnostics Reduction in complex legislation driven requirements E.g. EU 5/6 How can it benefit OEM, Tier1 Suppliers, and IAM?
