Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Concurrent engineering is a systematic approach to the integrated, concurrent design of
products and their related processes, including manufacture and support. It allows the
consideration of all elements of the product's life cycle, from conception through disposal,
including quality, cost, manufacturing, and customer requirements. Constraint networks as
an approach to concurrent engineering provides considerable advantages over the
conventional approaches to improve engineering. Constraint networks are difficult to
implement though and function best when applied to a small design team concerned with
designing within a family ofrelated products or processes.
