USING CONCURRENT ENGINEERING TECHNIQUE TO DEVELOP THE PRODUCT AND REDUCE ITS COSTS

Abstract

The aim of the research is to introduce the concurrent engineering technology and its
characteristics, concept and mechanisms, and to identify the most prominent benefits achieved
in applying concurrent engineering technology, and to identify the role of concurrent
engineering technology in reducing costs and developing products, and in order to determine
the location of the General Electric Industries Company product sample, the research sample
in relation to similar products to the rest of the company , The researcher used the Quality
Function Deployment Tool (QFD), as it is one of the best tools for converting customer needs
and quality requirements into product characteristics, developing product quality design, and
reducing costs, as well as the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is considered an
evolutionary tool Strong, with a wide range of applications. It also incorporates the desires and
requirements of customers in product design, which is what concurrent engineering tools
(DFM, DFX, DFA) seek to achieve.
