Abstract
In simultaneous/concurrent engineering (SE/CE), many functions are per formed concurrently; however, manufacturing logistics design is seldom considered. Presents an integrated methodology for the design of manu facturing logistics and links it with early phases of product design. The concept of ''adaptability factor'' is proposed, linking choice of manufacturing technology to handling operations performed.
