Product focused concurrent engineering

Objectif



PROFOCE
PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project deals with the creation of a thematic network,
which covers the 'Concurrent Engineering' domain in general. On account of today's high level product integration, Design and Manufacturing should create and use new methods and tools to be more efficient and competitive. This new approach,
especially developed by Aircraft and Automotive industries, is called 'Concurrent Engineering'.
Concurrent Engineering can be considered as a suite of
concepts, methods, organisation means and tools giving to a
group of interested actors within a design process simultaneous access to the same pool of data and thus, enabling the latter to make decisions in concerted action and to optimise
performance, lead-times, costs and quality throughout a
product's life cycle.
Introducing Concurrent Engineering practices in the industry is a revolution. Consequently the Industry, and society from a more general point of view should thus be prepared to accept and deal with these new working methods. The purpose of the proposed thematic network is to ensure that the global process of Concurrent Engineering is well defined and suited to the
targeted objectives of the Industry. It will ensure that
already started projects do work 'Concurrently' and not, in
competition, and that new needs and requirements are in future properly taken in account in accordance with the general
Concurrent Engineering Process.
One further goal of this thematic network is to avoid, as far as possible, redundancy in the Concurrent Engineering work
programme deployment throughout the whole European Industry.
EUROPEAN DIMENSION AND PARTNERSHIP

The current state of the art is found in the industrial use of the Concurrent Engineering approach and, in particular, in its integration business processes. This usually includes
comparisons of methodologies both geographically and between industrial sectors, and the cost structures to which it
pertains.
The global State of the Art will over technical description or comparisons, and how CE and development of the Concurrent
Engineering network will strengthen industrial competitiveness across the European industry through :
* Human networks working collaboratively and concurrently on design, analysis, manufacture, testing, simulation and
support of products.
* Management decisions and change processes including
financial analysis of risk and reward.
* Management of distributed enterprises, i.e. alliances
between companies, including with suppliers, partners and
customers.
This State of the Art will provide a clear view of Concurrent Engineering technology. CE was driven largely by the aircraft industry where very large multi-discipline teams are required to develop very complex products across multiple sites and
often, countries
The network includes a balanced combination of projects with small and large manufacturers, academic and research
institutions, the individual expertise of which is collected to guarantee the best chance of success within Europe.



POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

The expected impacts on product development with such new
methods are :
1. Cost reduction : 80% of the total product are committed
during the design phase. It is expected that Digital MockUp (DMU), for example, which is a key achievement for
Concurrent Engineering, will save up to 5% of these 80%.
2. Significant reduction of product development effort and
time to market:
The typical design loop is:
Conceive ... Design ... Build ... Evaluate ... Redesign
The required level of design knowledge is achieved too
late and time is wasted in redesigning. It is said that in introducing a new car model to the market, each day#s delay costs 1.5 MECU.

However, these benefits will only be achieved if Concurrent
Engineering methodologies are introduced into organisations
that been prepared for this.
