Concurrent/Simultaneous Engineering, effective project management, and process integration are the most important factors for the fast and efficient development of complex industrial products like vehicles. To improve effectiveness in the research and development (R & D) sector, a comprehensive R & D Management concept is needed which recognizes strategic, organizational, and technical chances and challenges from associated areas and applies them creatively and in a guiding manner to the R & D process. An early integration of all departments concerned with the development process is the most effective method of avoiding later changes in a product and at the same time speeding up the development process. The Fraunhofer-Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation (IAO), Stuttgart, has developed a prototypical integrated information system based on an object-oriented database system which performs integrated management of product data throughout all departments o a vehicle manufacturing enterprise and thus allows for a high degree of concurrent process execution. The entire process chain can be modeled within such a system - including transactions like customer orders, management of part lists, design changes, assembly plans, process planning, and calculations.
