Concurrent Engineering Management is an engineering management philoso
phy for simultaneously addressing both the engineering as well as the
operational management aspects of the product design process. In this
paper, our focus is on the operational aspects of the Concurrent Engin
eering Management. For this purpose a quantitative decision making mod
el is developed to manage both the cost and the schedule during the pr
oduct development process. The proposed model is a fixed charge proble
m which is solved by a mixed integer programming algorithm. Furthermor
e, an example as well as a linear programming version of the model are
presented.
