SAE Annual Report 2009 - 13

•	 In	2009,	SAE	International	updated	a	critical	standard	that	 helps engineers identify flaws in the assembly and design of ground	vehicles.	Standard	J1739,	“Potential	Failure	Mode	 and	Effects	Analysis	in	Design	(Design	FMEA)	and	Potential	 Failure	Mode	and	Effects	Analysis	in	Manufacturing	and	 Assembly	Processes	(Process	FMEA),”	includes	updated	 charts for ranking failure modes and de-emphasizes the use of the Risk Priority	Number	as	the	primary	factor	in	determining	 preventative or corrective actions. There	is	still	much	room	for	growth.	Opportunities	exist	in	the	 electrification of the vehicle, vehicle connectivity, embedded software, battery standardization, and a host of other mobility electronics projects.	To	reach	these	goals,	SAE	International	is	entering	nontraditional areas of vehicle standardization, such as nano materials, chemicals management, and supplier-chain management.

Globalization	of	the	industry	increases	opportunities	for	 ground vehicle standards. SAE International sees opportunities to grow the commercial vehicle sector by expanding its global footprint. SAE International is creating global	teams	to	collaborate	with	industry.	This	will	involve	sharing	 technical information, increasing the number of SAE Fellows from the commercial vehicle sector, and providing industry benchmarking in an anonymous environment. In	2009,	SAE	International	held	all	three	of	its	marquee	industry	 events	–	AeroTech	Congress	and	Exhibition	(aerospace),	SAE	World	 Congress	(automotive)	and	SAE	Commercial	Vehicle	Congress	 (commercial	vehicle).	Thousands	of	people	from	all	over	the	world	 attended these events, which drew host company and executive leadership support from some of the top companies in mobility engineering,	including	Boeing,	Honda,	Bosch	and	Caterpillar.
