To survive in the intensive world wide automotive market, more and more automotive companies are investing their resources into concurrent engineering systems (CE) based on the combined CAD/CAM/CAE/ PDM technology. The main objectives of CE in automotive companies are the quality improvement of products and the reduction of cost and time to market. Remarkable effects are appearing from some of these companies. As shown in this paper, these successful automotive companies have been focusing on establishing the new process and methodology in applying CE into their car development process.

The environment surrounded by industries is represented by the 3Cs : Customers, Competition, and Changes. The 3Cs drive industries to pursue external business targets such as customer's needs and marketplaces with BPR (Business Process Reengineering). BPR addresses core business process. One of these core business processes is product development. This product development process has been reengineered by the concept of CE (Concurrent Engineering). The aim of the paper is to build frameworks of CE to clarify the CE concept. This paper begins with investigating the product development process from the perspectives of three drivers: cost, quality and speed. CE frameworks are then followed. The first frmework is concerned with the CE definition and thus three keyphrases are extracted : from the outset, concurrent design and systematic approach. Concerned with the CE implementation, the second framework is composed of five components: generalist & specialist, cross-function team, enabling tools & techniques, success metrics, and total visibility. This paper concludes that the CE practice is hard to achieve because of the 'dont't-tell-them-early' attitude of upstream people, and the 'wait-and-see' attitude of downstream people. As resolution, a change management program is recommended that changes an employees mind-set. This paper also supposes computer systems which facilitate and keep automatic track of the CE process as engineered. Finally it gives a warning that computer systems alone do not guarantee success without being preceded by process re-engineering.

Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a popular method employed in product development. It treats the whole product design process by the consideration of product quality, cost, rate of progress, and demands of customers. The development of computer and network technologies provides a strong support to the realization of CE in practice. Aiming at the characteristics of CE and network collaborative design, this paper built network collaborative design system frame. Through the analysis of the network collaborative design modes based on CE, this paper provided a novel network collaborative design integration model. This model can integrate the product design information, design process, and knowledge. Intelligent collaboration was considered in the proposed model. The study showed that the proposed model considered main factors such as information, knowledge, and design process in collaborative design. It has potential application in CE fields.

This paper deals with manufacturing process design of a simplified gun tube applying CE principle. A concept and characteristics of CE, mathematical model for understanding interaction between design and manufacturing, basic elements and related equations for process planning and cost estimating are introduced. A Knowledge-based Computer-Aided Process Planning System(KCAPPS) is constructed, yielding optimal production cost/time for the shape input and selection of appropriate machines and tools.

Recently, it has been widely conceived that Concurrent Enginering (CE) can provide a competitive edge for companies that have confronted with rapidly changing market requirements, such as shortening of product life-cycles, high quality and low cost products, diversity of customer demand, and so on. CE is generally recognized as a practice to bridge the gap between designing a product and other various life-cycle activities, such as manufacturing, assembly, testing, and maintenance, at an early stage of design. In this paper the concepts of CE is first overviewed, and many of its supporting tools are discussed. It is then proposed an architecture of a CE support system that can provide a unifying view of the tools. Finally, a case that has successfully implemented the concepts is presented.

Concurrent Engineering(CE) has presented new possibilities for successful product development by incorporating various product life-cycle functions from the earlier stage of design. In the product design, geometric representation is vital not only in its traditional role as a means of communicating design information but also in its role as a means of externalizing designer's thought process by visualizing the design product. During the last dozens of years, there has been extraordinary development of computer-aided tools intended to generate, present or communicate 3D models. However, there has not been comparable progress in the development of 3D-CAD systems intended to represent and manipulate a variety of product life-cycle information in a consistent manner. This paper proposes a novel concept, Minus Volume (MV), to incorporate various design information relevant to product lift-cycle functions. MV is a functional shape that is extracted from a design object within a bounding box. A prototype 3D-CAD system is implemented based on the MV concept and illustrated with the successful implementation of concurrent design and manufacturing.

This paper is concerned with the set-up of the CE(Concurrent Engineering) model for the shortening of new product development. Recently, the situation of the new product development has been drastically changed. Customers require cheaper, better, stronger products in shorter product cycle time. To cope with this requirements from customers, engineers must accept new paradigm based on the CE and some special tools. This paper shows a tool, CE which is a good for shortening of new product development. So, CE was applied broadly in whole process of new product development and we could make it very successfully in quality, function, cost and developing time.

As part of effort to reduce the process time from design to manufacture and delivery, the concept of CE(concurrent engineering) has been applied to design process. In this research, the drawing information management system (DIMS) was developed based on CE. The system can distribute electronic documents of drawing or work instruction parallel to all reviewers simultaneously and collect their annotations through network. Mark-up functions are used for annotations on the electronic documents. DIMS is a system which integrates drawing management, engineering BOM, CAD and raster drawings, etc. In this system, a SUN workstation is interfaced with PCs by LAN. CIMCAD-2D, Image Hunter, and ORACLE RDBMS are used for CAD drawings, raster drawings, and drawing information management, respectively. As an integration tool for all the information, LINKAGE is adopted.

Constraint networks are a major approach to knowledge representation in Concurrent Engineering (CE) systems. The networks model various factors in CE as constraints linked by shared variables. Many systems have been developed to assist constraint network processing. While these systems can be useful, their underlying assumption that a solution must simultaneously satisfy all the constraints is often unrealistic and hard to achieve. Proposed in this paper is a hierarchical representation of constraint networks using priorities, namely Prioritized Constraint Network (PCN). A mechanism to propagate priorities is developed, and a new satisfiability definition taking into account the priorities is described. Strength of constraint supporters can be derived from the propagated priorities. Several properties useful for investigating PCN's and finding effective solving strategies ore developed.

건설 산업은 각 단계별 업무 프로세스의 분절 및 프로젝트 관리를 위한 다양한 소프트웨어 등이 업무 단위별로 상이함에 따라 단계별로 생성되는 다양한 데이터의 누락이 발생하며, 효과적인 공유 및 이를 활용한 신속한 의사결정 등에 한계를 보이고 있다. 또한 이로 인한 잦은 설계 변경 등의 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 프로젝트에 참여하는 다양한 주체들 간의 협업 및 원활한 정보 공유의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이와 같은 문제를 해결하귀 위하여 BIM(Building Information Mode1ing)으로 지칭되는 3D 기반의 정보 체계와 동시 공학(CE, Concurrent Engineering) 개념을 바탕으로 제조업 등에서 활발히 사용되고 있는 PLM(Product Life cycle Management) 시스템을 건설 산업 특성에 적합한 형태로 벤치마킹하여, 건설 프로젝트 통합의사결정 지원 체계(Construction Project Life-cycle Management) 구축을 위한 CPLM의 프로세스 모델 및 시나리오를 제시하고자 한다.
