dc.description.abstractThis thesis describes the concurrent engineering environment necessary for developing electronics products in the 1990s, and beyond. The broad scope of the research has made it possible to derive guidelines for the successful implementation of concurrent engineering in the South African electronics manufacturing industry. For a long time, design and manufacturing have been viewed as two distinct steps that must be sequential. The problem is that this process delays product introductions and promotes design errors that have to be caught either in the field or on the factory floor. Nevertheless, these drawbacks were viewed as simply an evil of modern industry. Today, progressive companies see that there is a better way to do things. Viewing product design and manufacturing engineering as separate entities is yesterday's technology. Both can be done at the same time in the process called Concurrent Engineering (CE).en_ZA
