 Introduction
National Institute of Science & Technology

Concurrent engineering is a new design managemen

system that has matured in recent years to become a well-
defined systems approach to optimizing design and
engineering cycles.

Concurrent engineering has been implemented in a

number of companies, organizations, and universities, most
notably in the aerospace industry. Organizations such as
the European space Agency use it to perform feasibility
studies for future missions.

• Concurrent engineering is a work

methodology emphasizing the parallelization of tasks,
which is sometimes called simultaneous engineering or
integrated product development using an integrated
product team approach.
• It refers to an approach used in product
development in which functions of design engineering,
manufacturing engineering, and other functions are
integrated to reduce the time required to bring a new
product to market.

 Challenges associated with concurrent design
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Implementation of early design reviews.

• Dependency on efficient communication
between engineers and teams.
• Software compatibility.
• Opening up the design process.

• Cross-functional teams :
It include people from different area of
the workplace that are all involved in a particular
process, including manufacturing, hardware and
software design, marketing, and so forth.
• Concurrent product realization:
Doing several things at once, such as
designing various subsystems simultaneously, is
critical to reducing design time and is at the heart of
concurrent engineering.

• Integrated project management:

It ensures that someone is responsible for
the entire project, and that responsibility is not abdicated
once one aspect of the work is done.

 Why concurrent enginering ?
National Institute of Science & Technology

1. Pace of market change has increased so companies

must keep pace with changing markets
2. Decisions made sooner rather than later.
3. Reduces/eliminates repetition of tasks.
4. Maximizes company profit.
5. Company operates more efficiently.
6. Reduces waste and reworking of design.
