Abstract
Investigates the use of simultaneous engineering at Nissan (a Japanese automotive company) in Europe. Suggests areas where it might be applied within a company and the results which might be achieved in doing so. Concludes that simultaneous engineering is the quickest and most efficient way of achieving “optimum design solution”, by using the wisdom and expertise of those people at the early stages of design and development.
