Abstract
The design process can be divided into a number of activities that are performed according to precedence constraints among them. The objective of concurrent engineering approach is to minimize the total design time without violating any of the constraints. A limited number of available resources constrain the simultaneous execution of design activities. The execution of succeeding design activities depends on the available information provided by the preceding activities. The smooth flow of information from the beginning to the end of the design process is a key factor for successful and timely completion of the design process. In this paper, a pull system approach for management of activities in the design process is proposed. In this approach, the dynamic scheduling policies are adopted. A heuristic for scheduling of activities is developed.
