Other titles in the Prentice-Hall International Series in Industrial & Systems Engineering series:Concurrent Engineering Fundamentals (Prentice-Hall International Series in Industrial & Systems Engineering)by Biren Prasad
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: The concurrent engineering (CE) approach to product design and development has two major steps: establishing the product realization process, or taxonomy, and applying this methodology to design and develop the total product system. This first volume of the two volume set articulates CE philosophy by illustrating the differences between the best methodologies and what is currently being practiced. Examines the Japanese transformation from rigid, culture-driven companies to world leaders in quality; offers an understanding of the eight primary components of concurrency and simultaneity; describes modeling the concurrent engineering environment and its five essential components; covers the development of a cooperative work-group environment spanned by four concurrent teams. Book News Annotation:The first of two volumes comprising a textbook for a course in
designing for manufacture. Presents insights and methods of
concurrent engineering that Prasad has either developed in his
practical work or has borrowed from other fields, focusing more on
organizational and management issues than technical topics. Discusses
the emerging concept of a virtual enterprise, sets out a set of
modern manufacturing invariants, and described integrated taxonomic
constructs for product realization from conception to disposal.
