EuroSPI² 2012 Key NotesWe proudly present the Key Notes for the EuroSPI² 2012 Conference. Integration of “Functional Safety” into Quality Management of KTM-Sportmotorcycle AGFor the video of this Key Note, please click here.
At the end of 2010 KTM-Sportmotorcycle got in touch with the draft of functional safety standard ISO 26262 for E/E-systems. Up to that point the quality management consisted of the standard development process based on APQP and the production part approval process (PPAP). However experiences of the generic standard IEC 61508 and specific software developing standards like SPICE was not used. Therefore the management decided to apply the standard of ISO 26262 for the entire lifecycle. The purpose of our presentation will be to show a way of effective integration of the process and the methods of functional safety for a medium-sized business based on two pilot projects. The principle of that pilot projects were to acquire expert knowledge via practical execution of the work products and simultaneous training. The first challenge at the beginning of the projects was to adopt the complex scope of understanding. Due to the implementation during the projects progression it was made possible to balance the degree of applying and interpreting of the inclosed methods. While performing the scope of safety case the functional safety management was enabled to decide which methods are relevant and which methods are not applicable in respective statements. During the iterative process of practical training, confrontation with problems and finding solutions for the optimal execution of the safety processes with the consequent work products, KTM-Sportmotorcycle has found the optimal integration of functional safety into quality management. KTM wants to present one way of effective execution on the basis of selected work products, e.g. hazard analysis & risk assessment, S-FMEA and functional safety concept. KEY-WORDS: FUNCTIONAL SAFETY, ISO 26262, SAFETY CASE Curriculum vitae: I was born 1977 in Salzburg and studied Production and Management Engineering in Steyr, Austria. After my study I started in 2001 at KTM as Factory Manager for all welded components like frames and exhausts. For that time, I was responsible for more then 200 employees and a turnover from about 30 mill. Euro. 4 years ago I changed to Supply Chain Management and 3 years ago I became Head of Quality Management. In January 2011 I became even responsible for Functional Safety. Since 2012 I am representative at Austrian Standards Institute at Committee 038 and Expert in ISO/TC22/SC3/WG16.
At the moment my team consist of 42 employees and are dealing with the following topics: functional safety, FMEA, QM-System (ISO 9001), KBA, QM-purchasing parts, QM-vehicle and engine assembly, QM-CKD production (Malaysia), QM-KTM India (Bajaj), APQP, PPAP, QM-laboratory.

Personal and professional integrity are key to the development of software with integrity.
Integrity of Software ... As all aspects of our lives increasingly depend on software-based systems, the engineering of reliable software is clearly becoming a professional obligation. Practitioners now have at hand tools for applying proven quality practices in designing, constructing, and evaluating these systems. We can and should provide secure systems that offer the fullest benefits of software to society.
Integrity of Process ... Engineering integrity into systems relies on the integrity of the processes employed. Visibility, accountability, and measurable value are hallmarks of solid processes.
Integrity of Improvement ... We owe our personal best to our clients, to our colleagues, and to the software engineering professional community. We must commit to continuous improvement in all aspects of our work.

Gunther SporkMAGNA Powertrain AG, Austria |
For Tier 1 suppliers of mechatronik systems it is inevitable today to comply with standards like Automotive SPICE and ISO 26262 (Functional Safety for Road Vehicles). This can lead to substantial on top costs and a lot of additional effort if especially requirements management is not implemented in a smart way. The presentation is based on the experience of several MAGNA engineering sites and will show one possible approach as synthesis of these experiences. The suggested solution is able to fulfill the requirements of currently relevant standards in an efficient way as well as support strategic aspects like protection of intellectual property and re-use of product features.
Curriculum vitae:
DDipl.-Ing. Gunther Spork is working for MAGNA Powertrain in Lannach, Austria. As Program Manager he is currently responsible for four-wheel / all-wheel drive systems from acquisition over development and serial production until end of production. As Competent Assessor he leads internal and external Automotive SPICE assessments in addition. He was responsible for the implementation of ISO 15504/Automotive SPICE and engineering processes before. Prior to that he was responsible for the Quality Management System according ISO TS 16949 and worked as Six Sigma Master Black Belt for MAGNA Powertrain and VA TECH Hydro. He holds two Diploma degrees from Graz University of Technology, one for Production Science and Management and one for Industrial Engineering.
