It can serve as a versatile tool to help readers to navigate the ever-changing state of this particular field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe primary focus of concurrent engineering was, at first, on bringing downstream information as far upstream as possible by introducing parallel processing in order to reduce time to market and to prevent errors at a later stage which would sometimes cause irrevocable damage. Up to now, numerous new concepts, methodologies and tools have been developed, but over concurrent engineering’s 20-year history the situation has changed extensively. Now, industry has to work in the global marketplace and to cope with diversifying requirements and increasing complexities. Such globalization and diversification necessitate collaboration across different fields and across national boundaries. Thus, the new concurrent engineering calls for a systems approach to gain global market competitiveness. \u003ci\u003eImproving Complex Systems Today\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new insight into concurrent engineering today. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-07-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780857297983\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-85729-799-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 484.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45605343559820,"sku":"9780857297983","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780857297983.jpg?v=1767712125","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780857297983","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
