Reduce rework due to insufficient collaboration between design and manufacturing! An explanation of the concepts and practical points for shortening development time.
Are there any issues in product development such as "frequent rework due to design changes," "slow information sharing between departments," or "inability to shorten development time"? This document explains "concurrent engineering," where departments such as design, production technology, manufacturing, quality assurance, and procurement collaborate from the early stages of development and advance multiple processes simultaneously. It organizes the differences from traditional sequential engineering (step-by-step development) and introduces concepts that lead to reduced development time, decreased rework, improved quality, and cost reduction. Furthermore, it discusses four essential initiatives for practical implementation, such as BOM (Bill of Materials) management, information sharing on design changes, and collaboration between design and production, as well as three common challenges encountered during implementation. In the latter part, it also introduces the functions of the production management system "FUSE," which supports information collaboration between design and manufacturing, along with case studies of its implementation in small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
【Basic Knowledge】 Explains the meaning and mechanism of concurrent engineering. You can acquire basic knowledge when reviewing product development approaches. 【Comparison of Development Methods】 Compares the differences with sequential development (sequential engineering) from six perspectives. You can consider development methods suitable for your company. 【Benefits of Implementation】 Organizes four effects: shortening development time, reducing rework, improving quality, and cutting costs. This helps clarify the purpose of implementation. 【Practical Points】 Explains cross-departmental information sharing, BOM management, collaboration between design and production, and digital utilization. You can use this for considering specific improvement activities. 【Challenges and Countermeasures】 Organizes issues such as information dispersion, lack of inter-departmental collaboration, and inconsistency in data management rules. This is useful for understanding challenges during implementation. 【Related Systems】 Introduces the roles of PLM, BOM management systems, and production management systems, as well as how to utilize FUSE. You can consider creating a system for information sharing. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

Applications/Examples of results
【Product Development and Design Department】 Utilized for early participation of the Manufacturing and Quality Assurance Departments in design reviews and for considering the reduction of rework due to design changes. 【Production Technology and Manufacturing Department】 Utilized for the simultaneous parallelization of design and production preparation considering processability and assemblability, and for improving information sharing between departments. 【Production Management and Procurement Department】 Utilized as reference material when considering BOM (Bill of Materials) management, drawing version control, advance ordering of parts, and visualization of process progress. 【Case Study of FUSE Production Management System】 At Maruzen Co., Ltd., a press and sheet metal processing company, delivery delays were reduced by one-third. At Honma Seisakusho Co., Ltd., a precision medical device parts processing company, management time was reduced to one-fourth, and work arrangements were halved. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
