In recent years, design is becoming the core competence of companies and managing the interface between design and other activities has received a lot of attention. Effective co-ordination among these areas, therefore, is vital for the effectiveness of the organization. The ideal situation would be continuous inter-departmental contact with well-developed channels of communication. This paper proposes strategies that help to implementing concurrent design and uses TOPSIS method to provide appropriate concurrent design strategy, which is observed to be quite capable of solving such type of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. The results of this study should provide a base for firms in evaluating the concurrent design strategies and a reference for them to strengthen their concurrent capabilities. This work aims at contributing to the concurrent design solutions implementation, which are appealing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
