Concurrent engineering for global manufacturing

Article Abstract:

The multinational collaborative program IMS-Test Case 3 'Global Concurrent Engineering' has undertaken research work aimed at identifying the constraints associated with global manufacturing as well as the best practices of concurrent engineering (CE) in various industrial sectors to diminish the impact of the critical constraints. Results of the consortium's research efforts revealed that effective cross-functional teams, a supportive managerial and organizational environment, a powerful technology transfer infrastructure and coordination of product development processes are essential for successful implementation of CE.

Planning and control of concurrent engineering projects

Article Abstract:

Concurrent engineering reduces lead times and life cycle engineering of projects by optimizing schedules and activities. To shorten lead times, planners can establish an uncertainty level and use an iterative algorithm to accurately set optimal concurrency. Planners can also establish risk buffers and add contingencies to control cost and time uncertainty in project planning.

Simultaneous engineering - correlates of success

Article Abstract:

Simultaneous engineering (SE) is a teamwork-based process used in lessening the overall time related to the production of a new product. The process entails transformation of customer requirements into a wide product concept and related performance standard. Aside from lessening the product development cycle, a well implemented SE also results to higher product quality.
