Concurrent engineering deals with both the organizational management and technical implementation facets of the simultaneous development of a product by both engineering and manufacturing units. This paper focuses on large design projects such as automobile manufacture using this new technology. The Chrysler method is based on the framework of a hierarchically structured concurrent engineering synthesis, product and work teams. The major sections of the paper cover, state-of-the-art assessment, organization and management of concurrent engineering, and how to implement the process by a five-level Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA). Actual examples and results, derived mainly from the Small Car Platform program at Chrysler, deal with activities such as: engineering change requests, DFMA projects roll-up, geometric tolerancing procedures, and computerized assembly variation analyses.
