GNANASEKARAN, J.S. e SHANMUGASUNDARAM, S.. Concurrent engineering model (CEM) analysis on logistics design parameters - A case study. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2009, vol.20, n.1, pp.109-118. ISSN 2224-7890.
Logistics engineering can be divided into internal or in-plant logistics and external manufacturing logistics. Internal (in-plant) logistics include material handling, warehousing, and storage systems, while external manufacturing logistics include transportation. Both must be integrated to minimise costs at a competitive level of service. For example, plant layout and production planning must consider internal logistics. The design decisions are made in the early phases of product design, and development will have a significant effect over future manufacturing and logistical activities. In this paper, a methodology is developed and presented to minimise the design cycle time of any manufacturing firm, including their suppliers, and to maximise the whole system's effectiveness.
