Abstract:

This paper overviews the operative characteristics of concurrent engineering. It introduces its application in the development of air-traffic-control transponder, analyzes the effects of shortening the development cycle, improving quality, reducing the development cost and improving after-sale services, and summarizes the experience and intimate knowledge for applying and spreading concurrent engineering.

Key words: concurrent engineering, development of air2t raffic2cont ro l t ransponder, effect iveness analysis, app licat ion know ledge
