Series of articles: Product lifecycle management – but how!? (8)
With our product life cycle management publications, we would like to inform you about standards and regulations. Especially, we focus on SMEs to help them with functional safety issues.
Part 8 completes the series of articles on Functional Safety for SMEs. It makes a link between al parts and ends with a résumé.

However, they also indicate that this is time-consuming, goes far beyond development, has pitfalls in all respects and is best tackled as a project.
