Understanding Concurrent Engineering Methods

Concurrent Engineering (CE) is an integrated product development approach that focuses on meeting customer expectations through teamwork and consensus decision-making. It allows for simultaneous execution of product development tasks, such as design and manufacturing, to identify and resolve potential issues early. CE involves three main areas: People, Process, and Technology, emphasizing team formation, process adaptability, and the use of advanced tools like CAD/CAM.

"Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a systematic approach

to integrated product development that emphasises the response to customer expectations. It embodies team values of co-operation, trust and sharing in such a manner that decisionmaking is by consensus, involving all perspectives in parallel, from the beginning of the product life-cycle."

Concurrent engineering methodologies permit the separate tasks of the product development process to be carried out simultaneously rather than sequentially. Product design, testing, manufacturing and process planning through logistics, for example, are done sideby-side and interactively. Potential problems in fabrication, assembly, support and quality are identified and resolved early in the design process.

How it Works

3 Main Areas to Concurrent Engineering


1) People 2) Process 3) Technology

Area 1: People

-Formation of teams -Training Area 2: Process -Changes in your processes -Be open to change Area 3: Technology -CAD/CAM -Software. Hardware, and Networking
