Abstract :
This approach changes the way distributed and concurrent engineering projects are carried out with the specific purpose of reducing cost and enhancing quality, thus, leading to excellent customer satisfaction. This paper presents an information and workflow strategy for a process oriented quality management for distributed concurrent design as well as an ICT Framework supporting team collaboration and workflow modeling. It also provides results of application on real life automation projects
