Abstract
Instilling productivity into the engineering process is addressed through the application of a concurrent engineering process. Parallel activities are designed into the engineering process providing high benefits in product value. Knowledge-based tools and methods along with new architectures for information handling improve the chance of successfully implementing a concurrent engineering process and further improving the productivity of engineering activities. This paper takes a look at creative activities that can be applied to the engineering process for the generic development of new products. These new activities are viewed from the manufacturing domain and seek to explore nontraditional roles in the early and late stages of product development.
