Recently, Econage Technology successfully won the bid for Xiaopeng Motors' 2024 process asset management system special project! Xiaopeng Motors will use AlphaFlow to build a unified process asset digital management platform, empower the end-to-end management of the product development system XPD2.0, and achieve an integrated integration of the product development management system with processes as the core.
01 New car-making force Xiaopeng Motors
Founded in 2014, Xiaopeng Motors is China's leading smart electric vehicle company, headquartered in Guangzhou. The main members of the team come from well-known vehicle and large parts companies such as GAC, Ford, BMW, Tesla, Delphi, Valeo, as well as well-known Internet technology companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, Samsung, and Huawei.
In January 2018, Xiaopeng Motors delivered 39 new cars and became the first Internet car-making company to enter the new energy vehicle sales list of the China Passenger Car Association; on January 29, Xiaopeng Motors officially announced the launch of a RMB 2.2 billion Series B financing. On the evening of August 27, 2020, Xpeng Motors officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange with the stock code "XPEV". On April 14, 2021, Xpeng Motors officially launched the Xpeng P5. On July 7, Xpeng Motors was officially listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with the stock trading code "9868". By the end of 2023, Xpeng Motors' cumulative deliveries exceeded 400,000 units. From January to July 2024, Xpeng Motors delivered a total of 63,173 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 20%.

02 XPD-based Process Asset Management Platform
In February this year, He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xpeng Motors, issued an internal letter stating that in 2024, Xpeng Motors will invest more manpower and a research and development budget of more than 40% year-on-year to fight for tomorrow. Based on the new Xiaopeng Product Development System (XPD), which is the full life cycle product development management system V1.0 with Xiaopeng characteristics, a more advanced and efficient full-process system will help the company achieve greater success.
The use of AlphaFlow to build a process asset management platform is also an important measure for Xiaopeng Motors to achieve the product "from occasional success to inevitable success" based on strategic planning and OKR global coordination goals based on XPD2.0. Through the AlphaFlow process management platform, Xiaopeng Motors will:
1. Build a unified process asset management system. Model and structure the processes scattered in traditional document libraries and IT systems, and realize process visualization, standardization, and integration through unified standards, methods, and rules. Orderly manage process assets such as process architecture, XPD process panoramic view, and integrated relationship diagrams, globally display product development business processes and promote the integration and implementation of the entire system, and further transform strategy into execution.
2. Build a unified process standard to achieve standardized and standardized management of product development processes, so that product development teams can quickly generate and tailor planned tasks, and improve the full life cycle management from task standards to execution.
3. Unified process data analysis. Through the AlphaFlow BPI process analysis and mining platform, the XPD instantiated task data is restored to the process model. Through consistency comparison, the gap between the design process (TO-BE) and the actual operation (AS-IS) process is viewed, and the status of each dimension of the business is intuitively displayed, providing data support for Xiaopeng Motors' subsequent process analysis and optimization, identifying potential risks, and assisting decision-making. The construction of the process asset management platform will further help Xiaopeng Motors maximize its corporate value output in the competition in the red ocean of intelligent driving!
