Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The purpose of this project is to develop processes by which competence in Concurrent Engineering can be developed into the Extended Enterprise with advantage to quality, time and cost competitiveness. Because the capacity, capability, skills and resources of suppliers will differ, decision have to be made as to the extent to which any supplier can be incorporated in the CE loop and the impact on the processes of different decision. The complexity of the problem arises in the integration of IPR/contractual issues of expense, risk and reward, relationship issues of trust and cultural fit, IT issues of data management, hardware and software with the demanding aerospace manufacture environment of rigorous configuration control and change management. This project will address these issues by a workshop approach leading to practical case application onto which theory and best identifies practice are superimposed. The outcomes will be monitors and evaluated leading to a handbook of good practice and rule based process for supplier involvement in CE.
