“…This is advantageous as traditionally 60-80% of new products and services fail once they are launched into the market (Zaltman, 2003). Furthermore, the concept of Concurrent Engineering (CE) has been proposed to overcome conventional 'over-the-wall' design and manufacturing problems (Yamamoto and Qudeiri, 2010;Zolghadri et al, 2010).…”

“…It involves networked processes in the pursuit of several concurrent objectives represented by different stakeholders and the cooperation of many functions integrated together to achieve a specific goal (Hartley, 1998;Ma et al, 2008). The essence of CE is not only the concurrency of the activities but also the cooperative effort from all the involved stakeholders (Yamamoto and Qudeiri, 2010). Chesbrough (2003) argues that to co-create value, the company and its network of innovators must reconcile their objectives and define the role and effort required from each party and an equitable division of the returns.…”

This paper focuses on Living Labs that are open user-centred environments for networked innovation development. Although the concept of open innovation has quickly attracted both the scientific and applied communities, research on Living Labs is scarce, and literature lacks understanding of the characteristics of the Living Labs model. We aim to describe what the Living Labs are from the innovation network perspective.Using a case study of a regional Living Labs initiative, we describe the key participants and their roles in the Living Labs network. In addition, we discuss their motives to participate in the network, as well as the outcomes and perceived challenges of innovation co-creation. According to our findings, Living Labs are a practical way of encouraging open innovation. They are dedicated inter-organisational environments that provide pertinent support for Concurrent Engineering's (CE) networked processes. The integration of users as co-producers in product development is imperative for success in the Living Labs model because it reveals their latent needs and enables unforeseen outcomes.

“…In CENPD, the design team utilizes appropriate technologies and tools at various stages of NPD process. Effective use of technologies and tools can dramatically shorten NPD time, reduce number of prototypes, cut costs, and improve quality of the design (Roulet et al, 2010;McKay et al, 2011;Yamamoto and Abu Qudeiri, 2010). The key to the success of technology in CENPD is building an effective design team with open cross-functional communication lines.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the relationships between lean manufacturing (LM) principles and concurrent engineering approach to new product development (CENPD). Design/methodology/approach -A survey instrument based on a number of critical factors was used to examine if there are relationships between LM and CENPD. In addition to general organization and managerial profile items, the survey contained 44 items (22 paired) regarding similarities between LM and CENPD factors. Also, the survey instrument contained a number of questionnaire items on NPD performances for LM companies using CENPD and conventional companies. Findings -Statistical results show high degree of similarities between LM and CENPD factors. The results also indicate that LM organizations are able to develop new products with 63 per cent better quality, 52 per cent less development time, 45 per cent less development cost, and 36 per cent less manufacturing cost than conventional companies.Research limitations/implications -Research is not industry specific. Future research needs to focus on specific industries. Practical implications -LM companies are able to develop new products better, faster, more often, with less development cost, and less manufacturing cost than conventional companies. Originality/value -The benefits of LM principles go much beyond inventory reduction and frequent deliveries. These principles are also applicable to other areas such as NPD.

“…Irregular-shaped machines were also considered in other studies, for example, Yamamoto and Qudeiri 22 proposed concurrent engineering system to find the layout design of flexible transfer line components, and also, Bock and Hoberg 23 introduced a layout for irregular-shaped machines with transportation path. On the other hand, fixed shapes and input and output points have been considered to find the layout, such as Kim and Kim 24 focused on the facility that has predetermined shape and input and output points, and also, Qudeiri and Yamamoto 25 introduced a one-by-one layout procedure to find the efficient layout for production line components between a fixed start point and end point of the production line.…”

The proper positioning of machine tools in flexible manufacturing system is one of the factors that lead to increase in production efficiency. Choosing the optimum position of machine tools curtails the total part handling cost between machine tools within the flexible manufacturing system. In this article, a two-stage approach is presented to investigate the best locations of the machine tools in flexible manufacturing system. The location of each machine tool is selected from the available specific and fixed locations in such a way that it will result in best throughput of the flexible manufacturing system. In the first stage of the two-stage approach, the throughput of randomly selected locations of the machine tool in flexible manufacturing system is computed by proposing a production simulation system. The production simulation system utilizes genetic algorithms to find the locations of the machine tools in flexible manufacturing system that achieve the maximum throughput of the flexible manufacturing system. In the second stage, the generated locations are fed into artificial neural network to find a relation between a machine tool's location and the throughput that can be used to predict the throughput for any other set of locations. Artificial neural network will result in mitigating the computational time.
