concurrent engineering  

Definition

  • Concurrent engineering (CE) is an approach to new product development, which differs from the traditional approach because new product development tasks are performed simultaneously, instead of in a sequence. Another fundamental difference between CE and traditional product development is the fact that all relevant aspects of product development are considered throughout all phases, from product concept to delivery of the product to customers.
