| Abstract | The increased globalization of industry is causing an acceleration in the pace of
product change. This trend is forcing engineers and engineering managers to respond with
products that have increasingly lower costs, better quality and shorter development times.
Concurrent Engineering emerged to adopt that trend that allowed ones to shorten product
development and dramatically improve the manufacturing.
Information technology plays an important role to make Concurrent Engineering
successful. Especially, collaborative working is one of the key elements of Concurrent
Engineering. Many efforts have been made in this field. However, there is no general
collaboration environment supporting Concurrent Engineering that can be applied to a wide
range of product development.
This research suggests a prototype for building a system to support Concurrent
Engineering through development of a small collaboration environment with some facilicies,
for example the abilities of browsing CAD/CAM data exchange files, retrieving data from
spreadsheet files, or accessing to relational database systems. This work also demonstrates
how some new information technologies lent themselves well to the development of such a
system. |
