Abstract:

This document presents an overview of Concurrent Engineering CE, i. e., the use of Multi-discipline Design Teams to perform the simultaneous design of the product and the process to produce the product. The intent is to encourage product developers, from the outset, to consider all elements of the product life cycle from conception through disposal, including quality, cost, schedule and the user requirements. The document also explores a number of specific tools which may be used to assist the reader in the implementation of CE. Concurrent engineering, Multi-discipline design teams, Product life cycle, Robust design, Automated design tools, Design, Development, Production.
