Core Viewpoint - The success of Huawei is not solely attributed to its Integrated Product Development (IPD) system, but rather, Huawei's achievements have created a myth around IPD itself [3][40]. Group 1: IPD Adoption in Automotive Industry - The Chinese automotive market is increasingly adopting IPD as a solution to its challenges, with companies like Li Auto and Xpeng leading the way in implementing these processes [4][6]. - Li Auto has established seven primary processes by 2024, including DSTE (Develop Strategy to Execute), IPD, IPMS (Integrated Product Marketing & Sales), and ISC (Integrated Supply Chain) [4]. - Xpeng's management emphasizes the importance of process and tool integration as foundational to organizational capability, with a focus on XPD (Xpeng Product Development) as a key step towards structured product development [5][6]. Group 2: Huawei's Process Management System - Huawei's process management system is often described as a "myth," with narratives surrounding its development and customer-centric design [7][8]. - Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder, emphasized the importance of management and service as internal capabilities that cannot be externally sourced, highlighting the need for a responsible process management system [7][8]. - Huawei's process management framework consists of three layers: Operating, Enabling, and Supporting, with a strong focus on product development through IPD [8][10]. Group 3: Automotive Business Logic - The automotive industry has unique characteristics, requiring significant investment and a complex supply chain, ultimately focusing on inputs and outputs related to sales and profits [12][13]. - Effective strategy execution in automotive companies involves long-term technological investments, mid-term branding and product development, and short-term marketing efforts [13]. Group 4: Li Auto's Process Structure - Li Auto's organizational adjustments have centralized R&D, supply chain, and sales under a unified leadership to enhance integration, while maintaining a focus on strategic development [15][19]. - The DSTE process at Li Auto incorporates strategic planning, execution, and evaluation, ensuring alignment with long-term goals [16][19]. Group 5: Xpeng's Process Development - Xpeng's process development began with IPD, focusing on product assurance and gradually expanding to include DSTE, ISC, and IPMS [24][30]. - The emphasis on horizontal processes aims to break down information silos and enhance collaboration across departments, ensuring a cohesive approach to product development [28][30]. Group 6: Case Studies of Li Auto and Xpeng - Li Auto's MEGA project faced challenges that led to organizational restructuring, integrating product development with commercial operations to ensure a closed-loop process [31][33]. - Xpeng's G9 launch encountered difficulties, prompting significant internal adjustments to enhance communication and collaboration, ultimately leading to successful product launches like the P7+ [34][35]. Group 7: Limitations of Process Management - The reliance on process management alone does not guarantee success; effective management practices must accompany process implementation to address underlying issues [36][40]. - Many companies may superficially adopt process frameworks without genuinely transforming their management practices, leading to a disconnect between processes and actual execution [38][40].
