Abstract
Much confusion still surrounds the concurrent engineering design concept in the chemical engineering world. The conventional hierarchical design method is compared to the concurrent engineering concept, and it is shown that the CE concept particularly improves the way a chemical design engineer deals with “external factors” that influence a process design. A framework is introduced to easily identify and classify these external factors. Through a number of industrial case studies, the current design methods have been analyzed, and improvements are identified. The flexibility of the plant can be improved by using a concurrent approach.
