Abstract
Designing a new vehicle is a complex process as it requires close coordination and inputs from a number of disciplines in developing a number of systems and sub-systems in the vehicle that should fit within the confined vehicle space, function and provide the customers an acceptable combination of all relevant vehicles attributes. Understanding how these process interact and how they are aligned with other and process while they should supporting the operation tasks of the conception of a new vehicle at minimum time and cost. The first step to achieve this goal is to define a new UML profile (VDML language) based on the extension mechanics of UML (industry standard language) to assist business process description and consequent improvements originated from a high level vision.
