Are You Concurrent?

Posted November 16, 2008 8:41 AM

Concurrent engineering: It is a neat term for a simple idea - getting people in different parts of a company to do things in parallel with each other instead of in sequence. It relies on communication and collaboration. Its fruits, if all goes well, should be better products and reduced timescales. So is concurrent engineering a reality in your working life? Do design and production staff in your company collaborate or do they barely know each other?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Machine Tools & Metal Working, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Machine Tools & Metal Working today.

Oh Well! Sounds nice to me as far as there are not much clocking pratices, you know now a lot of companies want's you to do 3 or more people's jobs in 5 minutes. This are the part that doesn't make much sense to me at least. How they expected good products qualities under so rush out? Anyway sounds nice in words but who know's in real deal? I don't Know?

Concurrent Parallel Hmmmnn,

MC
