The automotive industry is facing a tremendous growth in software and system engineering in productdevelopment. This is pressing the automakers to build up software competencies and elaborate efficientprocesses for product development and production. The involvement of manufacturing engineering in productdevelopment has consequently become imperative since the increase in software-based systems implies a greaternumber of product variants and a higher degree of complexity to be managed in the manufacturing processes.This paper presents an investigation of the interaction between the functions of product development andmanufacturing in automotive software development from a lean production perspective. The primarily objectiveof the study presented in this paper is to increase the understanding of the area by using complementaryperspectives found in related literature and the empirical results of a previous explorative multiple case studyundertaken at two Swedish automotive companies. Since automakers aim to achieve product differentiation in abroad market and cost leadership by adopting lean production emerged issues were primarily analyzed from alean perspective. Challenging issues were found and the analysis indicated that it is useful to adopt a leanapproach within the realm of the investigated area of interest since it seems to constitute an appropriatefoundation for remedial measures.
