Ford Motor Company's Investment Efficiency Initiative

Case Study: Ford Motor Company's Investment Efficiency Initiative

Feature Based Concurrent Engineering System

This research project is aimed at development of a concurrent engineering system for integrated product and process development of machined component designs. Its main purpose is to evaluate the feasibility of implementation of a concurrent engineering system which provides both horizontal and vertical integration of CAD/CAM systems.

Concurrent Engineering For Composites

During the last decade, the composites industry has faced increasing competition on a world wide basis. This has led to an increasing emphasis on the development of newer and improved materials and processes.

Concurrent Engineering Teams

This paper specifically addresses the management and organizational issues surrounding concurrent engineering teams and their meetings and identifies the types of computer support that would be beneficial to the group problem solving activities of the concurrent engineering teams.

Concurrent Engineering Electronic Circuit Design

Concurrent Engineering (CE) utilizes Multi-discipline Design Teams to perform the simultaneous design of the product and all of the life-cycle processes associated with the product that are required to meet the user's needs.

Concurrent Engineering Standards

Concurrent Engineering Through Product Data Standards

Design to Cost and Life Cycle Cost

Some products may be built to a minimum first cost without regard to later costs incurred as a result of initial cost savings. Presumably if this is overdone,the marketplace will shun the product and a more rational balanced design will win out.

Concept Design and Design-to-Cost Trade Studies

Techniques for Conducting Effective Concept Design and Design-to-Cost Trade Studies

Design to Cost Concept and Application

Design- to-Cost is described and placed in context with other policy revisions. Impacts of recent changes and resultant controversies are explored. Sample cases display the actual implementation of Design- to-Cost . Problem areas are enumerated and remedial actions proposed.

Manufacturing Technology Advances

Manufacturing companies in high-wage countries are challenged with increasing volatile and global markets, short innovation cycles, cost-pressure and mostly expensive resources. However, these challenges can also open up new business opportunities for companies if they are able to produce customer-specific products at mass production costs and if they can rapidly adapt to the market dynamics while assuring optimised use of resources.
