Concurrent Engineering in Machinery
(2015) p.639-670- Abstract
- Application of concurrent engineering (CE) to machinery has to consider the type of production (individual, serial), product complexity and level of design. Product development (PD) involves four characteristic levels of design that requires specific activities. The characteristic design levels require definitions of the activities for providing the necessary software and other support for all phases of the design process. The following four levels of the design process have become established in the professional literature: original, innovative, variation and adaptive. Systematic analyses of product development processes (PDP), workflows, data and project management, in various companies, has shown that specific criteria have to be... (More)
- Application of concurrent engineering (CE) to machinery has to consider the type of production (individual, serial), product complexity and level of design. Product development (PD) involves four characteristic levels of design that requires specific activities. The characteristic design levels require definitions of the activities for providing the necessary software and other support for all phases of the design process. The following four levels of the design process have become established in the professional literature: original, innovative, variation and adaptive. Systematic analyses of product development processes (PDP), workflows, data and project management, in various companies, has shown that specific criteria have to be fulfilled for CE to be managed well. It is very important to consider the involvement of customers and suppliers, communication, team formation, process definition, organisation, and information system to fulfil minimum threshold criteria. The quality of communication and team formation, for example, primarily affects the conceptual phase. An information system is useful predominantly in the second half of the design process. It is shown with typical examples what is important in each PD phase. In the second part of this chapter reference models for CE methods are presented for PD in individual production (CE—DIP), in serial production of modules or elements (CE—DSPME) and in the manufacture of mass products (CE—DMMP) with an example from household appliances. The reference models for CE methods map PD phases and CE criteria for each type of production and have to be used together with case studies. They help to recognise strong and weak points of a CE application and show a way to improve processes and supporting CE methods. (Less)
