Abstract: Concurrent engineering is a systematic work pattern onwhich products are developed integrately and cooperately.It stresses the process integration based on the information,instead of conventional serial working mode.In this paper,on the idea of concurrent engineering and the development of welding consumables, a model of concurrent development of welding consumables is established and the supporting environment of concurrent development of welding consumables is presented.Results of initial application show that using the concurrent working mode can expedite process, shorten the cycle and decrease the cost of product development.Furthermore,it is established synthetic evaluation system to evaluate the design quality of development of welding consumables from all directions,so as to better ensure the design quality of products.
