Abstract

Pushchair development was improved simultaneously by some of the company to produce a new design which fulfill customer requirement. Many techniques had been applied and one of the best techniques is Concurrent Engineering concept. A basic principle of Concurrent Engineering is that the desi~ of the product must be integrated with the design of the processes. This paper described about redesign the pushchair by applied Concurrent Engineering method. Pushchair was selected as a case study for this project. This is because pushchair has a lof of part and it has potential to redesign using Concurrent Engineering method. The main objective of the project is to reduce the total number of pushchair parts by application of Concurrent Engineering methods. There are two (2) tools from Concurrent Engineering method that will be applied which is Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Design for Assembly (DF A). The development process of this case study started with survey throughout distribution of questionnaires to get feedback from the respondent. The~ the QFD method will be applied based on the data from the survey. Next, the DFA process using the software called Tea.mSET will be applied to analyze which parts have to be eliminated. Finally, the final design will be shown through Solidwork simulation. The parts were recognized from the analysis and would be eliminated to reduce the total part and increased the design efficiency for the pushchair. Comparison result had developed between existing pushchair and redesign pushchair to determine the implementation of the Concurrent Engineering tools. Thus, the QFD used to analyse the customer requirement and DF A used to analyse and reduce the total part of pushchair. TeamSET software was used to application of the DF A. The design efficiency was increase for the redesign pushchair after done the DF A analysis.
