3. Meaning
A method of designing and developing
products, in which the different stages run
simultaneously, rather than consecutively.

5. Concurrent Engineering

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

7. Benefits of Concurrent Engineering
• Competitive advantage
• Faster time to market
• Enhanced Quality
• Enhanced Productivity
• Decrease design and development time

8. Challenges
• Support from top management
• Dedication
• Careful planning
• New product’s lifecycle should fit in the existing product
program lifecycles in a company

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. Concurrent/Parallel Processing
• Objective - minimize lead times
• Reducing the manufacturing process
Standardization
By using common parts for many different products
