Concurrent engineering
- 1. Concurrent Engineering Presented by CHAKANKAR AMOL CHANDRAKANT BE (MECH) ROLL NO.120
- 2. • Meaning • Objective • Traditional Engineering • Why Concurrent Engineering • DFM • DFL • Benefits • Weakness • Challenges INDEX
- 3. Meaning A method of designing and developing products, in which the different stages run simultaneously, rather than consecutively.
- 4. Objective • Decrease product development time • Improve profitability. • Greater competitiveness. • Better control on design & manufacturing cost. • Close integration between departments. • Enhanced reputation of the company and its products. • Improve product quality. • Promotion of team spirit.
- 7. Why Concurrent Engineering? • Change in market pace • Faster decisions • Reduced repetition of tasks • Faster response • Reduced cost • Efficient operations
- 8. Design for Manufacturability • Definition – “is the method of design for ease of manufacturing of the collection of parts that will form the product”. • The goal is to design a product that is easily and economically manufactured. Points to be considered Costs Control Methods of Production Time required for production Availability of raw materials
- 9. Design for Logistics DFL is a strategy in SCM which involves product design to reduce logistics cost. • It increase customer service levels Economic Packaging and transportation Concurrent Engineering Standardization Three Components
- 10. Economic Transportation and Storage • Design products for efficient packing and storing • Design packaging so that products can be consolidated at cross docking points • Design products to efficient utilization of retail space
- 11. Concurrent/Parallel Processing • Objective - minimize lead times • Reducing the manufacturing process Standardization By using common parts for many different products
- 12. Benefits of Concurrent Engineering • Competitive advantage • Faster time to market • Enhanced Quality • Enhanced Productivity • Decrease design and development time
- 13. WEAKNESS • Excessive amount of modification. • Little attention to manufacturability issues of the product at the design stage. • Uncontrolled late design cost. • The likelihood of late changes usually leads to expensive changes to tooling and other equipment.
- 14. Challenges • Support from top management • Dedication • Careful planning • New product’s lifecycle should fit in the existing product program lifecycles in a company
- 15. THANK YOU
Editor's Notes
- #11: Ikea World’s largest furniture retailer 131 stores in 21 countries Large stores, centralized manufacturing, compactly and efficiently packed products Rubbermaid Clear Classic food containers - designed to fit 14x14” Wal-Mart shelves
- #15: Has to be supported by top management All product development team members should be dedicated for the application of the strategy. Each phase should be carefully planned before application. New product’s lifecycle should fit in the existing product program lifecycles in a company
