Production planning

You’ve released the product, indicating that it is ready for production. At this point, it has to be physically produced in a manufacturing environment. Whether you are producing a single component or a completely integrated vehicle, applying cybersecurity measures during the manufacturing process is an essential part of protecting the system during normal operation. The post-development requirements that were identified during the design phase are applied during the production phase by the system integrator. All such activities must be captured through a production plan. For example, an MCU/SoC vendor may specify procedures for injecting secret keys during manufacturing or locking specific interfaces. These procedures must be captured within the production plan of the chip vendor if they are responsible for performing this step or in the corresponding integrator’s plan, such as the ECU vendor. Similarly, post-development requirements related to the...
