The Role of Simultaneous Engineering in Reducing Costs and Improving Product Quality - An Applied Study in Wasit State Company for Textile Industries

Abstract

The current study sought to identify the simultaneous engineering technology activities as an integrated model that
helps reduce costs and develop the current product design model according to the customer's requirements through
the sum of the relative weights. The importance of each component depends on the relationship between the customer's
requirements and the component's functionality. This research aims to show the knowledge foundations of concurrent
engineering technology and its importance in achieving competitive advantage and reducing costs.
