Manufacturing Systems Concurrent Engineering
Concurrent Engineering: Is a strategy where all the tasks involved in product development are done in parallel. Collaboration between all individuals, groups and departments within a company. • Customer research • Designers • Marketing • Accounting • Engineering
Concurrent Engineering Suppliers Commercial Design Process Competitors Customers R&D Idea Generation Marketing Product or Service concept Feasibility Study Performance Specifications Linear Process Preliminary Design Form Design Revising and testing prototypes Functional Design Production Design Specifications Manufacturing Specifications Pilot run and final tests Final Design and process plans Product Launch
Concurrent Engineering Techniques: • Perceptual mapping • Benchmarking • Reverse Engineering
Concurrent Engineering Perceptual Mapping Good Taste ·Coco Pops Low Nutrition ·Cheerios ·Rice Krispies High Nutrition ·Shredded Wheat Bad Taste • Compares customers perception of available products • Identifies gap in market
Concurrent Engineering Benchmarking • Get the best product available • Base performance specifications for new product on it Reverse Engineering • Dismantle and inspect competitors product(s) • Select features to incorporate into new product
Concurrent Engineering Demand for the proposed product? Cost of developing and producing the product? Does company have manufacturing capability? Skilled personnel?
Concurrent Engineering Form Design: Physical appearance of the product Functional Design: Performance of the product Production Design: How to manufacture product
Concurrent Engineering • Prototype produced • Adjustments made • Final specification agreed
Concurrent Engineering • Manufacturing process commences • Product is marketed to buying public
Concurrent Engineering Traditional Process = Linear Vs Concurrent Engineering = Team collaboration
Concurrent Engineering Why Concurrent Engineering? • Pace of market change has increased • Companies must keep pace with changing markets • Decisions made sooner rather than later • Reduces/eliminates repetition of tasks • Reduces waste and reworking of design • Product quicker to market • Maximises company profit • Company operates more efficiently
Concurrent Engineering To make decisions concurrently: • Team knows the design goals/objectives • Team is aware of the interrelationships between all aspects of the design process • Superior communication between all sections of the company Method: Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
Concurrent Engineering Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Collection of matrices that converts the needs of the customer into technical specifications at all stages of the design and manufacture process. Product Planning (most popular) • House of Quality

Concurrent Engineering Role of CAD in Design & Manufacture • Model part or assembly being designed • Part visualised and manipulated on screen • Realistic • Function tested • Textures & lighting effects can be applied • Photorealistic effects • Manufacturing drawings generated automatically • Modelled part and its manufacturing requirements shared with the entire design and manufacturing team
Concurrent Engineering Role of CAD in Design & Manufacture • Geometry from CAD system used to produce part on CAM system • CAD model used by marketing to create images for packaging • Simulate behaviour of product under stresses and forces using CAE system • Model data used by rapid prototyping machine
Concurrent Engineering Role of CAD in Design & Manufacture Advantages: • All above can be done concurrently • Manufacturing problems identified early • Changes in design can be seen immediately • Speeds up design and prototyping processes
Concurrent Engineering Design for the Environment There are three major elements of design for the environment: • Design for environmental manufacturing • Design for environmental packaging • Design for disposal and recyclability.
Concurrent Engineering Design for Environmental Manufacturing: • Non-toxic processes & production materials • Minimum energy utilization • Minimize emissions • Minimize waste, scrap & by-products
Concurrent Engineering Design for Environmental Packaging: • Minimum of packaging materials • Reusable pallets and packaging • Recyclable packaging materials • Bio-degradable packaging materials
Concurrent Engineering Design for Disposal & Recycling: • Re-use/refurbishment of components & assemblies • Material selection to enable re-use (e. g. , thermoset plastics vs. thermoplastics) and minimize toxicity • Avoids filler material in plastics such as fibreglass and graphite • Minimum number of materials/colours to facilitate separating materials and re-use • Design for serviceability to minimize disposal of nonworking products
Concurrent Engineering Design for Disposal & Recycling: • Material identification to facilitate re-use • Design to enable materials to be easily separated • Design for disassembly (e. g. , fracture points, fastening vs. bonding) • Avoid use of adhesives • Limit contaminants - additives, coatings, metal plating of plastics, etc. • Maximize use of recycled or ground material with virgin material
Concurrent Engineering Impact of Product Life Cycle on the Environment • Product life cycle = design, manufacture, use & disposal stages of product • Minimise a products negative impact on the environment • Incorporate Df. E considerations into design process of a new product
Concurrent Engineering Case study 1: Desktop computer Design Stage: • The design could specify the following • Reusable components e. g. monitor, keyboard • Recycled materials where possible • Minimise toxic materials used Manufacture: • Use ethical work practices and sources for raw materials • Use ‘clean’ manufacturing processes • Minimise transport of components and materials • Implement quality procedures to minimise waste etc. Use: • Low power consumption • Serviceable items rather than replaceable e. g. disk drive, peripherals etc. Disposal: • Design for disassembly – use easily dismantled fixings etc. • Identify materials used for recycling • Minimise mixed materials to facilitate separation later
Concurrent Engineering Role of Testing in Product Design • Cannot predict with absolute certainty how product will perform • Need test product before mass production • Mass production very costly to setup • Changes cannot be made easily • Speeds up design and prototyping processes
Concurrent Engineering Role of Testing in Product Design Possible tests: • Product meets performance specifications • Expected life of product Accelerated testing • Likely cause of failure
Concurrent Engineering Performance test: Pond Alarm Test Procedure Minimum performance Casing Seal Submerge in water for 8 hours Remove, Dry, disassemble and inspect No evidence of water ingress Sensitivity of sensor Submerge probes to 8 mm in sample of pond water Retract Alarm should trigger before 8 mm is reached Alarm should reset within 1 min Battery life Trigger alarm and measure time until battery depletes. Alarm should sound for 1 hour minimum Ability to withstand extreme weather Place in freezer at 15°C and in oven at 50°C for 1 hour No damage should be apparent to casing or function Alarm Volume Trigger in an unobstructed area then move away until alarm is no longer audible Should be audible up to 30 m Result
Concurrent Engineering Role of Accelerated Testing • Used when expected life is long to capture life data • Life data is needed to estimate the reliability of a product • Tests are conducted on a sample or prototype • Tests cause product to fail in same manner as normal use • Test time is greatly reduced ØProduct is quicker to market ØLow development and warranty costs Qualitative or Quantitative
Concurrent Engineering Qualitative Accelerated Tests • To reveal probable failure modes • Good tests quickly reveal failure modes • Improve design product • Performed on small number of samples • Product subjected to one severe level of stress e. g. Stress cycling or hot to cold • Product intact – pass • Failure - action taken to eliminate cause of failure • Only tests conditions encountered in real use • Cannot be used to quantify life of product
Concurrent Engineering Quantitative Accelerated Life Tests • Quantify the life of the product • Controlled application of accelerated stress conditions to simulate product failure • Reduces the time-to-failure for a product • Data used to estimate reliability of product
Concurrent Engineering Example: A washing machine to last for ten years in normal use. Expected typical household use: three times a week for a wash cycle that will last for 2 hours on average. What type of test should be used? How long must the machine survive during the test? Total hours life required for the machine is: 2 hours/wash x 3 washes/week x 52 weeks/year x 10 years = 3120 hours Use a quantitative accelerated test. Run the machine constantly for 3120 hours
Concurrent Engineering Sample Paper: HL Explain why accelerated testing is used on some products. Some products have a long life – need to test reliability – quantify life of product - warranty A washing machine will be used for two hours per day, three days per week in normal use. What type of accelerated testing will determine the lifetime of the washing machine? Quantitative test – data is used to determine expected normal life time of product During testing, the washing machine ran for 3000 operating hours before failing. Recommend a suitable guarantee period for the washing machine and give reasons for your recommendation. 2 hrs/day x 3 days/week = 6 hrs/week 3000/6 = 566. 67 weeks 566. 67/52 = 10. 8975 Guarantee period = 10 years.
