Abstract

The concurrent engineering approach calls for the simultaneous consideration of a variety of concerns from a variety of perspectives When a team is provided proper tools, such multi-faceted analysis can reduce many common oversights early in the design process However, issues common to all group interactions can hinder a concurrent engineering team. We present research which supports concurrent engineering teamwork during the initial, requirement, and specification stages of system design.
