Set-Based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE)
Set-Based Concurrent Engineering
Development approach that keeps multiple design alternatives open while knowledge is gained, progressively narrowing to a robust solution.
Examples
- 01Using Set-Based Concurrent Engineering, the team develops three cooling concepts in parallel instead of choosing one early.
- 02In SBCE, weekly reviews compare test data from all concepts and drop the ones that cannot meet the noise limit.
- 03Because weak options were dropped early, Set-Based Concurrent Engineering avoids a costly late redesign of the housing.
