Why Concurrent Engineering?
 Pace of market change has increased
 Companies must keep pace with changing
markets
 Decisions made sooner rather than later
 Reduces/eliminates repetition of tasks
 Reduces waste and reworking of design
 Product quicker to market
 Maximises company profit
 Company operates more efficiently
Concurrent Engineering
Benefits
 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.
Concurrent Engineering
Summary
 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.
