INTRODUCTION

Globalization has intensified competition worldwide and the competitive pressure is forcing the organizations to look for the ways and means for increased innovation by systematically involving players from Marketing, R&D, Design, Materials Management, Production to after sales service in the concept development phase. This improves ability to design right the first time, increased cohesiveness within the organization, between individuals and departments, inventory control, scheduling and customer relations etc.  One of the tested methods and pragmatic approaches to accomplish these objectives is Concurrent Engineering Practices.

Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a process in which appropriate disciplines are committed to work interactively to conceive, approve, develop and implement product programmes that meet pre-determined objectives.  CE is relatively recent term applied to the engineering design philosophy of cross-functional co-operation in order to deliver products which are better, cheaper and more quickly brought to the market.  Most important aspect to note that this trend unites both technical and non-technical disciplines such as Engineering, Marketing and Accounting, etc.

There are several benefits that CE can bring and these are not only benefits which the practicing organization / industry will experience, but ultimately the end users / customers will reap the benefits by having a quality product which costs less to purchase.  CE, therefore, produces a unified profitable organization and a delighted customer.
