This article reviews that by integrating its CAD/CAM tools, Boeing’s Space Systems Unit hopes to enhance the quality of its products as it reduces both design- and manufacturing-cycle times. Sharper market competition led management to re-emphasize the practice and couple it with integrated CAD/CAM systems to provide a more supportive environment for concurrent engineering, thereby assuring the customer that cost, schedule, and quality goals would be met. This concept, called integrated product development (IPD), was launched in 1991. Boeing’s intention is to use the IPD strategy to reduce design-cycle time and manufacturing-cycle time as well as recurring costs. To support IPD, the Boeing designers developed electronic change control (ECC), an online system that enables engineers, technicians, manufacturers, and logisticians throughout the company to track and control engineering changes on a network of minicomputers, workstations, and desktops. Among the Unigraphics-based tools Boeing uses in IPD is the electronic development fixture (EDF), a three-dimensional digital model. EDF enables its users to electronically investigate fit, form, function, and interference detection.
