This lecture introduces concurrent engineering and its importance in new product development. Concurrent engineering allows development activities to be executed in parallel through multidisciplinary teams and simultaneous processes. It focuses on people, processes, and tools/technologies to reduce errors and quickly respond to customers. The objectives are to explain concurrent engineering's importance, identify activities that can be concurrent, and describe the development team, processes, and tools/technologies used. Key aspects of concurrent engineering include goal sharing, parallelism, customer focus, and using techniques like quality function deployment and failure mode and effects analysis.

INTRODUCTION • The adoption of concurrent product development process is important to achieve targeted product development performance. • The concurrent engineering allows development activities to be executed in paralleled. • Three main elements: people, process, and tools and technologies are the changes made for optimum improvement in CPD. • CPD reduces and mitigates product development errors and enable manufacturer to quickly respond to customer needs and requirements. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• At the end of this chapter, student should be able to:
• Explain the importance of concurrent engineering in new product development process. • Identify the development activities that can be carried simultaneously. • Describe the importance of development team, process and tools and technologies for CPD. CONCURRENT PRODUCT DEVELOMENT CE Basic Principles: 1. Goal Sharing 2. Parallelism 3. Customer focus 4. Continuous improvement 5. Multidisciplinary team 6. Co-operation 7. Systematic approach What is New Product Development process? • NPD is a set of process to be used as a product development guidelines for manufacturing a new product (s) i.e. new platform and product enhancement. It covers from product idea creation to the product launching and project closeout. • It consists of concurrent development activities need to be completed by related parties. • The outcome of the activities need to be presented at either sub milestones. milestone or gateways for management decision and approvals before the commencement of next process. It will provide guidelines with regards to the development process need to be undertaken for introduction of a new product. It also integrates and streamlines all the activities and resources within the company to guarantee a successful product introduction. It is intended to layout the activities, timing guideline, deliverable, role and responsibilities, documents required to be completed for each of the process, project organization structure, progress monitoring and decision making and risk management in an integrated manner. CE SE 1. People (the development team) Collaboration effort (collocation) within multi-disciplinary Individual/Departmental effort (functional). No formal development team members (e.g., from marketing, organizational structure, usually hierarchical. engineering, and manufacturing). Organizational structure is normally known as a product development team.
2. The development process
Parallelism/Simultaneous Over-the-wall. Sequential. 3. The tools and techniques Quality function deployment (QFD), failure mode and QFD, FMEA, CAD/CAM, AM, PDM are partly or not effect analysis (FMEA), computer-aided-design (CAD)/ integrated. Less systematic in information or data computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM), additive management. The design system is usually not integrated manufacturing (AM), product data management (PDM), (stand-alone). etc. are integrated for information exchange, distribution, and data storage.

The Concurrent Product Development
The concurrent development practices where activities are overlapped.
Set of decision making processes and activities to determine the form of an object, given the customer’s desired function. • CE in Production/Manufacturing Engineering Phase (P2)
Develop Manufacturing Plan
15 Product Launching & Mass Production Phase 3. How to Concurrent the development process: Tools and Techniques: - DFMA - FMEA - FTA - HoQ/QFD - Etc Technologies: - CAD/CAM - CAE (DA) - RP - RE - RT - Simulation (DELMIA) - etc The Essential Technologies (at a glance): 1. CAD: a graphical representation of an object. 2. RE: a technology used to capture data or information of physical object through a process known as digitising and/or scanning. 3. RP: a technology of producing a physical model or prototype directly from three-dimensional Computer-Aided-Design (3D CAD) data in a very short time. 4. RT: soft tooling and hard tooling. A logical application of RP model. END OF LECTURE 4:
