Abstract

Concurrent Engineering has been a major theme in the 80 s and 90 s of the previous century in research and practice. Many advantages have been achieved in terms of cost and time reduction and quality improvement. While starting with a design-manufacturing alignment, gradually the CE way of thinking has been extended to incorporate more lifecycle functions together with a stronger focus on and involvement of both customer and supplier. In this paper a history of CE is sketched as well as its major achievements and challenges. Challenges are briefly described that exist in two application areas, aeronautics and agro-food.
