Agenda

Meaning

A method of designing and developing

products, in which the different stages run

simultaneously, rather than consecutively.

Traditional Engineering

Concurrent Engineering

Why Concurrent Engineering?• Change in market pace• Faster decisions• Reduced repetition of tasks• Faster response• Reduced cost• Efficient operations

Benefits of Concurrent Engineering

• Competitive advantage

• Faster time to market

• Enhanced Quality

• Enhanced Productivity

• Decrease design and development time

Challenges

• Support from top management

• Dedication

• Careful planning

• New product’s lifecycle should fit in the existing product

program lifecycles in a company

Design for Manufacturability

• Definition – “is the method of design for ease of manufacturing

of the collection of parts that will form the product”.

• The goal is to design a product that is easily and economically

manufactured.

Points to be considered

Costs Control

Methods of Production

Time required for

production

Availability of raw materials

Design for Logistics

DFL is a strategy in SCM which involves product design to reduce

logistics cost.

• It increase customer service levels

Economic Packaging and transportation

Concurrent Engineering

Standardization

Three Components

Economic Transportation and Storage

• Design products for efficient packing and storing

• Design packaging so that products can be consolidated at cross

docking points

• Design products to efficient utilization of retail space

Concurrent/Parallel Processing

• Objective - minimize lead times

• Reducing the manufacturing process

Standardization

By using common parts for many different products
