Abstract - The importance of Concurrent Engineering is rising as businesses compete in the global market. The primary variables that influence a company's success are the reduction of time spent on product creation, the improvement of product quality, the reduction of production costs, and the satisfaction of consumers. The idea of Concurrent Engineering has to be put into practice if high-quality goods are to be produced. It is a methodical strategy that succeeds when all design tasks are combined and carried out simultaneously. Many businesses' product development processes have been overhauled as a direct result of the Concurrent Engineering strategy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the use of Concurrent Engineering in the automobile sector by reviewing its fundamental ideas and tools. In the same way, doing a thorough market study and meticulously planning every step of the design process are essential in a Concurrent Engineering setting. By keeping "avoidable" expenses out of the design in the early phases, the Concurrent Engineering method may lead to substantial savings. It is also sometimes called "Simultaneous Engineering."
