CONCURRENT ENGINEERING

With the latest development due to globalization, business unit may have the capacity to deal with the increasing competition. This is possible only by drastic organizational productivity improvement. One of the tools to achieve the organizational productivity improvement is called Concurrent Engineering. If there is a delay of three months in bringing a product to the market, it would cause an enormous loss to the organization by way of reduced market share.
A systematic approach to the integrated, concurrent desi ....etc

Abstract
Various techniques have been developed for different query types in content-based image retrieval systems such as sampling queries, constrained sampling queries, multiple constrained sampling queries, k-NN queries, constrained k-NN queries, and multiple localized k-NN queries. In this seminar , propose a generalized query model suitable for expressing queries of different types, and investigate efficient processing techniques for this new framework. We exploit sequential access and data sharing by developing new storage and query p ....etc

Abstract—Given a data point set , a query point set , and an integer , the Group Nearest Group (GNG) query finds a subset ( ) of points from such that the total distance from all points in to the nearest point in is not greater than any other subset ( ) of points in . GNG query is a partition-based clustering problem which can be found in many real applications and is NP-hard. In this paper, Exhaustive Hierarchical Combination (EHC) algorithm and Subset Hierarchial Refinement (SHR) algorithm are developed for GNG query pr ....etc

Real-Time Positioning Technology Fleet management system is a rapid growing industry. This system helps institutions to manage vehicle fleet efficiently and effectively through smart allocation of resources. In this project, an intelligent fleet management system which incorporates the power of concurrent Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) real-time positioning, front-end intelligent and web-based management software is proposed. In contrast to systems which depend solely on GPS positioning, the pr ....etc

CONCURRENT ENGINEERING

Definition
Concurrent engineering is a dynamic approach to integrated product development that emphasis on the response to customer expectations. it embodies team values of cooperation, trust and sharing, in such a manner that decisions making is by consensus, involving all perspectives in parallel, from the beginning of the product lifecycle.

Basic principles of concurrent engineering
Get a strong commitment from senior management.
Establish unified project goals and a cl ....etc

CELLULAR PRODUCTION SYSTEMS: A CONCURRENT CLUSTER ANALYTIC FRAMEWORK

ABSTRACT

In this paper an agglomerative heuristic cluster analysis framework is proposed for application to the part family and machine cell formation problems associated with Group Technology (GT). This framework addresses the notion of concurrently forming clusters of parts (families) and machines (cells) based upon natural between- part and between-machine relationships and the strength of association relating pairs of parts with pairs of machine ....etc

Abstract:
Successfully implementing concurrent development has proven difficult for many organizations. However, many theories addressing concurrent development treat either technical aspects of the development process (e.g., precedence relationships) or behavioral issues (e.g., creating effective cross-functional teams), but not their linkages. We argue that much of the complexity of concurrent development”and the implementation failures that plague many organizations”arises from interactions between the technical and behavioral ....etc

Introduction
• A transaction is a unit of program execution that accesses and possibly updates various data items in a database system.
• The transactions are required to have the ACID properties: atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability.
• Transaction processing system usually allows both single as well as multiple transactions to run.
• Concurrent execution of transactions improves throughput of transactions & system utilization & also reduces the waiting t ....etc
