Abstract:
This paper presents an investigation of current state practice of the
Manufacturing Engineering discipline for concurrent manufacturing planning. The
research adopted a case study approach and has been conducted at a globally
operating manufacturer of aerospace products. The investigation establishes how
information systems and the cross-functional teaming enable integrated processes
for planning the manufacturing method to progress simultaneously with design in
a lean and efficient manner. It applies value stream analysis to understand
where value and non-value is added in these transactional processes.
