Concurrent engineering aims to maximize profitability through the shortening of new product introduction time. Specific cases of successful implementation need to be understood within their context to ensure success if repeated elsewhere. This book addresses this issue by developing a framework within which all the influencing pressures acting on a company can be considered. The framework shows how these pressures can be categorized and then related to the elements which come together to form the concurrent engineering solution.
