Great engineering achievements, from the Aqueducts of Rome and Hausman’s Sewer System for Paris to the Boeing 757 and the Space Shuttle, have always benefitted from international influence and content. The reliability of engineering structures and systems has always engendered the confidence of international users. U.S. citizens drive European automobiles with confidence and Europeans drive across U.S. bridges without pause. Today, international content is extensive, often formalized and regulated and a permanent part of tomorrow’s engineering. Engineers both participate in their profession worldwide and evaluate and accommodate international content at home. Multinational companies demand multinational engineering practice. “Credentials without borders” is desired. Accreditation is key to quality assurance.

Torrent of globalization forced us to reform our once renowned Japanese style management system that featured lifetime employment and seniority-based payment. The direction of the reform is definitely from organization-based toward individuals-based society. The establishment of engineering profession is the key issue of this reform. Multilateral efforts, for example, foundation of accreditation body for engineering education, revision of Professional Engineers Law, introduction of integrated CPD system, are ongoing. Engineering societies are essential contributors for the design and implementation of such systems.

How can we satisfy every customer whim at prices that are no higher than those of competitors who offer only a few products? The following strategies have worked in many circumstances: 1. Analyze the structure of the demand. We need to be able to make what customers do order, not everything they might. 2. Standardize components. Custom products do not always have to be made from scratch. Instead, they can be made from a small number of standard components. 3. Make a catalog with a discrete set of sizes. All shoes used to be custom-made, but today, shoes made in size increments meet the needs of almost all consumers. 4. Postpone customization to the end of the process. Customization happens best at or near the end of the manufacturing process. 5. Identify a common process. Then we can treat custom products like options on standard products. 6. Maintain a database of past designs. It can be an enormous time saver in meeting requirements that appear to be new. 7. Design your custom manufacturing process. While still as a job-shop, the custom workshop must be organized for effectiveness and efficiency. 8. Set up a simple production control system. Cap the number of jobs in process, sequence WIP FIFO, do all priority shuffling prior to job release, and track progress with Ybry charts.

The disposal of electronic equipment in landfills is receiving significantly increased consideration due to the unknown impact of the environmental hazards they contain. It is also estimated that more than 63.4 million personal computers (PCs) and workstations will be come obsolete in the year 2005 in the United States alone. The DOD projects an annual disposal requirement for more than 25 million pounds of electronic equipment. While computers originating from the Department of Defense (DOD) represent only ten percent (10%) of the total electronic scrap found in landfills, ninety percent (90%) of this scrap consists of military-unique electronic equipment (i.e., test equipment, radios and radar equipment); the remaining 10% is desktop equipment (Federal Electronic Asset Management Task Force Final Report to the Federal Environmental Executive February 16, 1999 Draft Working Copy.) The sheer volume of electronic material, coupled with environmental considerations, is prompting states to keep electronic equipment out of landfills. Consequently, the Department of Defense and other Federal Agencies are voluntarily striving to dispose of its inactive, obsolete or surplus electronic scrap by implementing demanufacturing, reusing, and recycling options rather than landfilling. One way the Department of Defense is addressing the environmental concerns associated with the disposal of its inactive, obsolete or surplus electronic equipment is through the DEER2 Program (Demanufacturing of Electronic Equipment for Reuse and Recycling). This program will develop, demonstrate and validate technology enhancements to facilitate separation and decontamination of materials, tracking, glass and plastics reprocessing and reuse, and precious metals recovery. These innovations will take place in a state of the art technology facility located in Largo, Florida.

How teamworking would play an important role in the 21st century and what are needed to realize it are discussed in this paper. It is pointed out that for teamworking in the 21st century, the identification and coordination of a strategic goal between different people with different background are the prerequisite for realizing true collaboration. And to share a strategic goal, images will play very important roles so that a methodology toward image based design must be developed and established.

This paper discusses that supply chain management will evolve toward value chain management and these value chains are not fixed through their product life cycles, but will change because the future products will change their functions by adapting to the changing situations. Up until now, we have been discussing hardware product realization, based upon our traditional concept that their functions remain fixed all through their life cycles. But if we look at software products, they are constantly customized and kept up to date. In other words, their functions are growing even after they are delivered to the customer. If such concepts as CALS, Rapid Prototyping, etc can be integrated into this concept and merged into one, then we would be able to realize value chain management in this sense.

The issues involved in the design of miniaturized systems are reviewed. In several respects the design of miniaturized systems requires departure from traditional engineering design. The design has to cope with a host of uncertainties simultaneously. The sources of uncertainties are all associated with reduced physical size of components and systems. A methodology is proposed in that the knowledge base is developed well in advance of actual design work, and a fast-to-use design code is made ready by the time the design work starts. For the knowledge base development conventional numerical simulation tools are applied to ‘template models’.
