J-CDS B.V. is the leading provider of Concurrent Design Services and Solutions.

Concurrent Design is the multidisciplinary, integrated approach to engineering,

J-CDS focuses on the application of this approach during the early stages of

complex system design e.g. the preliminary conceptual and feasibility stages.

We provide the design approach that allows our customers to include all

life-cycle perspectives from the start, structure the currently chaotic and

untraceable multidisciplinary information and decision flow during these

early design phases and so save money due to time reduction and reduction

of changes in the later phases.

The process is complementary to existing processes. The full implementation

of J-CDS' Concurrent Design is performed in a 3 steps approach which

extends further than the early design phases.

Step 1: Introduce the generic J-CDS Concurrent Design process and the

supporting CD software infrastructure in your early design processes, train your team and apply CD to a few representative projects.

Step 2: Customise the process and software infrastructure to your needs

and start introducing it in the further phases of the product development

life-cycle, Concurrent Reviews, Concurrent Planning, Concurrent Check-points

at stage gates, etc.

Step 3: Implement the CD approach in the whole product life-cycle by

integrating it with your existing product life-cycle systems and processes.

J-CDS provides customised overall solutions (process and supporting software) and the very important hands-on Concurrent Design process expert services to support you in your daily Concurrent activities.
