Set-based concurrent engineering (SBCE), also known as set-based design, is a state-of-the-art approach to the new product development process. SBCE, simply, provides an environment where designers explore a wide range of alternative solutions in the early stages of product development. After gaining knowledge, solutions are narrowed down until the optimal solution is ensured. Such an environment saves considerable amount of cost and time while reaching innovation and high quality in the products. However, industrial practitioners seek a clear and systematic application throughout an SBCE process. This paper demonstrates a well-structured SBCE process model and its step-by-step application on a product called “electronic card reader”. Real data is used in the industrial case study. Results showed the benefits of applying SBCE in both the product, and the process of new product development.

Disciplined product development has been a hallmark of mature companies for many decades, resulting in shorter development cycles, reduced costs, and higher quality products. Unfortunately, these tools and processes have typically been applied in large, well-established firms, not start-up companies. In this paper, we describe a simplified new product development process for early-stage firms and its application to a consumer product in which the process was executed during a 14-month development cycle. The process consists of 15-steps in 3-phases, two decision gates, and provides a step-by-step guide for development, with specific call-outs as to what, when, and where tools such as market segmentation, platform planning, industrial design, and cost modeling should be applied. The proposed process is applied to design a new consumer product, and the case study results are discussed with specific emphasis on costs, duration, and applicability of the process and its related engineering tools. Finally, we conclude with comments on the limitations of the proposed process, potential improvements, and future work.

Taking into account the customers, supplier and organization involvement in the new product development (NPD), this article focuses on the synthesis, evaluation, and selection of various sub-factors of concurrent engineering involved in new product development process. The aim of this study was to provide the reliability and validity of six sub-factors of concurrent engineering model of the 49-item questionnaire and to analyze its association with concurrent engineering and new product development process in a sample of 35 manufacturing and services organization located in Johor, Malaysia. Methods: A self reported survey was conducted in 35 manufacturing and services organization located in Johor, Malaysia. Results: Appropriate internal consistencies of the six sub-scales: customers relationship, team development, continuity, tools and techniques, suppliers involvement and corporate focus and their association with concurrent engineering, were obtained. Zero-order correlation and regressions analysis replicated the theoretically assumed structure of the effective concurrent engineering (ECE). Evidence of criterion validity was obtained from cross-correlations of the scales and from their linear and multiple regression analysis. Finally, all seven scales were associated with a highly significant ratio of concurrent engineering as predicted by fundamental theory. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study the seven version of the model, questionnaire is considered a reliable and valid instrument for measuring association in developing the new complex product development process.

This paper presents innovation design method of product on basis of the typical theory of new product development and research of the process and industrial design in the different phases of the product development function for small and medium enterprises in China's. On this basis, the paper put forward to ensure full participation in industrial design and play the role of segmented flow, determine the objectives and tasks for each stage of development, the personnel involved in the coordination method, steps and related links. In addition, we studied the evaluation system of product development, according to the stage characteristics of new product development process for enterprise, using different evaluation methods, established the overall evaluation system of industrial design process model.

The new-product development process is very important to manufacturing companies in all the product being developed. The product being developed must meet all internal company processes, customer requirement and to be delivered at the planned time. The modern approach in new product development is concurrent engineering. This paper reviews the concurrent engineering development and practices in several countries and industry. An investigation on concurrent engineering approach to selected manufacturing companies were conducted and analyzed. Concurrent engineering implementation is moderate due to organizational, tools and communication barriers. Secondly, the use of digital tools such as Electronic Data Management/Computer Aided Engineering/Computer Integrated Manufacturing is low. To ensure the success of concurrent engineering for critical process in new product development such as stamping process, the stamped part accuracy and considerable processing timings are the key factors.
