Concurrent Engineering

Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications (CERA) is a leading, peer reviewed journal publishing the newest and most exciting research arising from parallelism of product life cycle functions, covering:
- New developments in computer-aided concurrent engineering (CE) presented by leading CE specialists from around the world
- Advances in knowledge-based CE theory, methodologies and practical applications
- New information for integrated CE development and optimization of CAD/CAM/CAE/CIM systems.

CERA provides design, engineering and manufacturing professionals with quality articles on all aspects of CE. Computer-aided concurrent engineering enables faster to-market product development (e.g. Japanese fast-to-market concepts), reduced design and manufacturing costs, competitively superior products, longer product service life, and improved return on product investment. CE is a seamless, systematic integration of computer-aided product design, engineering and manufacturing, as well as post-manufacturing product life-cycle management.
