2.  “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.”

4.  Basic Goals of Concurrent Engineering are:-
-Dramatic improvements in time to market and
costs
-Improvements to product quality and
performance
-Do more with less

5.  Three Main Areas to Concurrent
Engineering
1) People
2) Process
3) Technology

6.  Area 1: People
-Formation of teams
-Training

7.  Area 2: Process
-Changes in your processes
-Be open to change

8.  Area 3: Technology
-CAD/CAM
-Software. Hardware, and Networking

9.  Reduces time from design concept by 25% or
more.
 Reduces Capital investment by 20% or more.
 Continuous improvement of product quality.
 Increases Product Life Cycle Profitability.

10.  CHALLENGES IN DESIGN AND
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
1. Business Issues
2. Industrial Issues

11.  A pharmaceutical instrument manufacturing enterprise in
India was facing some disadvantageous situations in global
competitive market. The company was getting unable to
deliver the market winning product at minimum cost. It was
a medium scale enterprise.
 As a solution the company picked up concurrent
engineering. One of its key products was surgery knife. The
knives were manufactured by injection moulding. The
enterprise implemented concurrent engineering for the
whole lifecycle of this product. Three different teams were
formed for market survey and customisation, design and
analysis, development and manufacturing. The enterprise
used Pro-E and ANSYS software for product design and
analysis.

12.  The concurrent engineering solutions have the great
potential to be applied to meet industrial requirements.
Expected potential advantages for different industries due to
implementation of concurrent engineering methods are:
1. A higher level of customer satisfaction can be achieved.
2. Nearly 70% of the product cost is built-in during design
and development phase.
3. Designer, manufacturer, supplier and customer can
exchange their ideas about the product.
4. The cost and profit margin can be determined during the
design phase.
5. Better manufacturability with shorter cycle time and
reduced cost.

13.  Concurrent Engineering: Simultaneous development
of product and process.
 Most important aspect is communication and
formation of teams
 Management support is vitally important
 Don’t be afraid to change current processes and
technologies
