Objective
The project is aimed at promoting rapid European industrial adoption of Concurrent Engineering (CE) concepts by :
1. Developing industrial awareness of the concepts, benefits and implementation strategies for CE
2. Identifying European Industrial requirements
3. Assessing the suitability of existing Information Technology and identifying development needs.
The project tackles the framing of CE methodology and related needed/available enabling Information Technology into a coherent picture. This is to be compared with the industrial expectations and requirements derived from organisational, cultural and human product development characteristics. This is performed to enable production of an assessed set of guidelines for CE implementation in European industry that apply to complex electronic products, at both multi-company and company-wide levels.
Tasks concentrate on identifying general methodological issues in Concurrent Engineering. These will be discussed and analysed during a dedicated workshop. Attention will be centred on the European industrial environment. It is anticipated that the final users of CE methodology, will identify the features and constraints that must be satisfied if effectiveness and economies are to be met by the CE implementation strategy.
The project will cover development of prerequisites for CE implementation, evaluation of suitability of existing information technology, identification of IT areas requiring further developments, and definition of methods to be used for capture and characterisation of product development processes.
Validation of identified CE methodology is achieved through the specification of two pilot implementation programmes driven by the final user.
Exploitation plans of project results include, at industrial partner level, the future implementation of pilot programmes specified during the project, and at methodological level it is expected that results will constitute a reference for the identification of development activities in IT for CE, and for the development of integrated support services to industry for the adoption of CE strategy.
