DEVELOPING THE EMPLOYEES’ EXPERTISE IN AUTOMOTIVE OFFSHORE BRANCHES

Marius GAL, Lucian L OBONŢ, Claudiu V. KIFOR

Abstract


The development of products from research and development centers has entered an era of intensified competition, driven by clients' demands for higher quality, market-driven innovation, accelerated development timelines set by business management, and reasonable pricing expectations from stakeholders. Offshoring can aid companies in expanding their international presence, discovering new talent, and maximizing employee effectiveness. This paper proposes a framework specifically designed for automotive software companies to manage offshoring processes effectively, ensuring project quality is maintained from design & development to delivery. It is crucial that software products developed or tested overseas adhere to internal standards, meet customer quality requirements, and comply with team-established criteria.
