Product/manufacturing: a systemic approach for simultaneous engineering

摘要

In simultaneous engineering for systems design, one important difficulty is the management of the increasing flows. For the enterprise, the evolution follows the internationalization of both markets and technologies, the reduction of productioncycles, and the improvement of competitiveness. In order to reduce this complexity, we have developed a new taxonomy. This taxonomy must permitthe structuration, modelisation, simulation and, finally, management the all engineering components of the product development. This paper studies this taxonomy.
