Organisation:

Hybrid organization – combining the benefits and avoiding the

extremes of strict centralized and decentralized CAE org.

CAE groups reports to two organizations:

Direct Organization - Vehicle Simulation

Indirect Organization - Product Functional Organization (a Vehicle Systems or

Vehicle Integration area) handles the daily product related work in its domain.

Summary

Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is a seamless integrated

process at Saab Automobile AB. Simulations is the “engine” in

our daily work to generate engineering solutions. Our intensive

use of CAE results in:

• significant time reductions

• product cost savings

• quality improvements

• an increased product

design innovation
