| Abstract | As aerospace missions grow larger and more technically complex in the face of ever tighter budgets, it will become increasingly important to use concurrent engineering methods in the development of early conceptual designs because of their ability to facilitate rapid assessments and trades in a cost-efficient manner. To successfully accomplish these complex missions with limited funding, it is also essential to effectively leverage the strengths of individuals and teams across government, industry, academia, and international agencies by increased cooperation between organizations. As a result, the existing concurrent engineering teams will need to increasingly engage in distributed collaborative concurrent design. This paper presents a framework for characterizing concurrent engineering teams, consisting of a set of team variables, team characteristics and design study attributes, providing a means to describe and compare the behavior of concurrent engineering teams in various settings. The concurrent engineering team attributes are used to define a taxonomy of concurrent engineering teams, ranging from traditional design teams to distributed concurrent teams. The framework presented in this paper provides a basis for inferring the characteristics and performance of collaborations between teams, and to predict the challenges that will arise when teams participate in distributed collaborations. |
