Opis

Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a systematic approach to the integrated and concurrent design of products and related processes, which offers considerable potential for increasing efficiency and effectiveness by considering all the elements of a building or structure over its life cycle, and including issues of quality, cost, schedule, and user requirements. This book presents latest research on the implementation of Concurrent Engineering in construction projects.
