Abstract
The paper deals with investigating the competitive advantage of using Concurrent Engineering practices in a Cellular Service Provider Company. This paper is based on an investigative approach of remodelling the current practices and standard operating procedures in accordance with Concurrent Engineering Concepts. It also analyses the competitive advantage that a company may get after implementation of Concurrent Engineering practices. The results shows that after applications of Concurrent Engineering concepts like intra team cooperation, decision by consensus, and parallelism significant improvement in time-delay can be achieved in tasks/products. Furthermore a Concurrent Engineering Model based on generic structure of a Cellular Service Provider is also put forth.
