The recognized requirement for advancements in Concurrent
Engineering for sustainable productivity enhancement (improved
quality of life) can be viewed positively. The basic aim of
productivity enhancement is changing, from primarily seeking
collaborative enterprise engineered solutions through a more
restricted short-term market view. Rather, it is looking forward to
a more expansive truly concurrent engineering approach to
development that must be adopted in order to synthesize all of the
far-reaching requirements and implications relating to products and
their intended operation, service provision and end-of-life. It is
already evident in this new century that the desire for sustainable
development is increasingly driving the market to reach for new and
innovative solutions that more effectively utilize the resources we
have inherited from previous generations; with the obvious
responsibility to future generations.
There is a need to rethink the way in which we make things in
order to revise the a ~cradle to gravea (TM) philosophy of the
industrial revolution, which can be viewed as an extreme relative
to naturea (TM)s principle of sustainable evolution. Human
productivity and progress can be positively engineered and managed
in harmony with the provision and needs of our natural environment.
One century on from the industrial revolution, this is now the time
of the sustainable revolution; requiring holistic technological,
process and people integrated solutions to sustained socio-economic
enhancement. It might surprise Albert Einstein that he rather well
encapsulated the nature of this a ~evolutionary strugglea (TM) when
he stated: "The world will not evolve past itscurrent state of
crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation."
Collaborative Product and Service Life Cycle Management for a
Sustainable World gathers together papers from the 15th ISPE
International Conference on Concurrent Engineering (CE2008), to
stimulate the new thinking that is so crucial to our sustained
productivity enhancement and quality of life.
