This practical resource offers an easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach to the overall concurrent engineering (CE) development process, presenting both fundamental principles as well as advanced concepts while focusing on rapid product development and cost-effective designs. It introduces - for the first time in book form - Salomone's Cost Driven Design, with specific examples on how to minimize product costs by applying a structured methodology that clarifies the manufacturing cost drivers early in the concept phase of design and facilitates management of the drivers throughout the process.
Explaining CE from initial planning to production start-up, What Every Engineer Should Know About Concurrent Engineering provides new insight into the collaborative team approach to product design ... defines software applications and their use in achieving the goals of the CE process ... describes development process methodologies and structured techniques, including Quality Function Deployment, Customer Focused Design, Design for Manufacturing, and others ... supplies actual engineering examples ... shows how to furnish effective market positioning for products and helps understand the strengths and limitations of market-based input ... illustrates how each CE process step fits into the overall development process ... delineates time management techniques for project teams ... and more.
A step-by-step guide to implementing a system of product development that has been shown to lower costs, increase product quality, and reduce development time. Describes the fundamentals of parallel development of products, processes, and marketing positions; the teams, tools, and techniques from the beginning stages of concept development through production startup; and the mechanics of cooperation and information flow within and between working groups.
