Abstract
Efficiency in design and process planning is defined as measured contribution to goal fulfilment. In order to identify integration measures for design and process planning with highest effect on efficiency, an evaluation methodology has been developed. Examples of integration measures are early transmission and feedback of information, coordination and use of integrating methods as QFD or FMEA. The developed evaluation methodology supports the decision between alternative parallel and integrated procedures by estimating their efforts, benefits and risks. Applying the proposed evaluation methodology ensures an optimised degree of integration and parallelism in design and process planning. Thus integration measures can be used with full effect on reducing time-to-market, trimming development and manufacturing cost and enhancing product quality.
