This paper presents a generic concurrent engineering (CE) implementation support framework, how it was derived and why the PACE project consortium considers that it encapsulates the pertinent issues of change towards CE. PACE - a 'Practical Approach to Concurrent Engineering' - is an EC project consisting of a pan–European consortium. Its aim is to provide an holistic technology transfer infrastructure enabling the effective change and improvement of present engineering practices towards CE principles. The methodology behind it is generic, but designed to be adaptable to specific company needs. It is especially aimed at showing how to implement CE in an ordinary company i.e. not using a 'super–motivated' project team. It is based on the steps of change management in the specific context of CE and provides a structure for implementation, drawing on literature and experiences of the project's industrial partners.","PeriodicalId":380191,"journal":{"name":"Proceeding of Flexible Automation and Integrated Manufacturing 1996","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124271162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This confers an agility that is inherent, guaranteed, quanti able, and stronger than conventional use of the term. We discuss the practical implications. In a bucket brigade\" production line there are fewer workers than stations. Workers carry product from station to subsequent station; then, when the last worker nishes an item, he returns to take over the item of his immediate predecessor, who returns to take over the work of his predecessor, and so on, until the rst worker on the line starts a new item. The idea is that, by abolishing xed work zones, workers can locally adjust how work is shared and so improve the instantaneous balance. However, we have discovered an even more powerful e ect: If the workers are sequenced from slowest to fastest, then global balance will spontaneously emerge and the line will achieve the maximum production rate [Bartholdi and Eisenstein, 1996; Bartholdi, Bunimovich, and Eisenstein, 1995; Bartholdi, Bunimovich, School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0205 USA.
