The Role Of Concurrent Engineering Technology In Supporting Short-Term Decisions

Abstract

In response to the rapid and successive changes in the modern manufacturing business environment, the current research has adopted one of the topics of modern manufacturing management, which is concurrent engineering technology. The research aims to study and analyze the technology of concurrent engineering and the extent to which it supports short-term decisions in manufacturing and sales and to use the outputs of concurrent engineering as inputs to reduce costs and as a result reflect on the quality of decisions and achieve savings in design, manufacturing and assembly time. To achieve the research objectives, the General Company for Textile Industries/Textile Factory in Babylon Governorate was chosen. The research reached the conclusions: The use of simultaneous engineering technology in designing and assembling the product simultaneously and in accordance with the desires of customers contributes to the production of a product that conforms to the specifications or a new product that enhances the exploitation of available production capacity and leads to reducing production costs for the factory and discovering problems that occur during the production process early, which It facilitates the treatment process without aggravating it. The research presented recommendations: Creating synchronization between the engineering design and manufacturing processes of products ensures that operations run well and detects defects in the work early to save time and cost, and that adopting this technology works to create an integrated work team, which provides useful information to the follower.
