Concurrent Engineering : an Effective Engineering Management Strategy
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper provides a comprehensive insight into current trends and developments in Concurrent Engineering for integrated development of products and processes with the goal of completing the entire cycle in a shorter time, at lower overall cost and with fewer engineering design changes after product launch. The evolution and definition of Concurrent Engineering are addressed first, followed by a concise review of the elements of the concurrent engineering approach to product development and the economics of the same. Discussion of teamwork for successful concurrent engineering, with deployment strategies is included.

Integrated simulation based design requires effective methods to gain all desired results. Concurrent engineering is a product development method, which integrates all the company’s functions. It brings together people, departments, software and many other functions so that their co-operation will work effectively. Integrating all the functions requires a lot both management and software. Manag...
متن کاملConcurrent Software Engineering Project
Concurrent engineering or overlapping activities is a business strategy for schedule compression on large development projects. Design parameters and tasks from every aspect of a product’s development process and their interdependencies are overlapped and worked on in parallel. Concurrent engineering suffers from negative effects such as excessive rework and increased social and communication c...
متن کاملA Matrix Approach to the Customer-oriented Product Design
A customer-oriented product designer must rely on many types of information, including customer-product requirements and design developments in the related fields. Concurrent engineering applications in product design problems will help designers to systematically consider relevant design information and make the most effective use of the time they devoted to the design process. Even though man...
متن کاملA self-assessment tool for implementing concurrent engineering through change management
A review of various tools for assisting organisations to implement Concurrent Engineering (CE) found they tend to operate independently from each other, rather than being integrated to rigorously manage the change towards effective assessment and deployment. A new workbook style tool is proposed, which is based on a self-assessment model to enable the implementation of CE through a change manag...
متن کاملAssessment of distance-based multi-attribute group decision-making methods from a maintenance strategy perspective
Maintenance has been acknowledged by industrial management as a significant influencing factor of plant performance. Effective plant maintenance can be realized by developing a proper maintenance strategy. However, selecting an appropriate maintenance strategy is difficult because maintenance is a non-repetitive task such as production activity. Maintenance also does not leave a consistent trac...
