The document is a presentation on concurrent engineering. It defines concurrent engineering as simultaneously performing product and process design using cross-functional teams. It outlines the plan of presentation which includes explaining traditional vs concurrent engineering processes, how concurrent engineering works through people, processes, and technology, and how it can reduce time. Examples are provided of using accelerated testing for a washing machine and considering sustainability in designing a desktop computer. The presentation concludes by emphasizing simultaneous development, communication through cross-functional teams, and changing current processes and technologies for concurrent engineering.

3. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
Concurrent engineering
“The simultaneous performance of product design
and process design. Typically, concurrent engineering
involves the formation of cross-functional teams. This
allows engineers and managers of different
disciplines to work together simultaneously in
developing product and process design.”
Foster, S. Thomas. Managing Quality: An Integrative Approach. Upper
Saddle River New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 2001.

4. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
Concurrent engineering
“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 side-by-
side and interactively. Potential problems in fabrication,
assembly, support and quality are identified and resolved
early in the design process.”
Izuchukwu, John. “Architecture and Process :The Role of Integrated Systems
in Concurrent Engineering.” Industrial Management Mar/Apr 1992: p. 19-23.

11. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
HOW CONCURRENT ENGINEERING REDUCE TIME

12. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
EXAMPLE
A washing machine to last for ten years in normal use.
Expected typical household use: three times a week for a wash cycle
that will last for 2 hours on average.
What type of test should be used?
How long must the machine survive during the test?
Total hours life required for the machine is:
2 hours/wash x 3 washes/week x 52 weeks/year x 10 years = 3120
hours
Use a quantitative accelerated test. Run the machine constantly for
3120 hours

13. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
CASE STUDY
DESIGN STAGE:
The design could specify the following:
 Reusable components e.g. monitor, keyboard
 Recycled materials where possible
 Minimize toxic materials used
MANUFACTURE:
 Use ethical work practices and sources for raw
materials
 Use ‘clean’ manufacturing processes
 Minimize transport of components and materials
 Implement quality procedures to minimize waste
etc.
USE:
 Low power consumption
 Serviceable items rather than replaceable e.g.
disk drive, peripherals etc.
DISPOSAL:
 Design for disassembly – use easily dismantled
fixings etc.
 Identify materials used for recycling
 Minimize mixed materials to facilitate
separation later

SUMMERY
Simultaneous development
Communication and formation of team
Change current process and technology
