In this paper we present the systems concurrent engineering approach to the development of complex products for the automotive industry having as a product a “green car”. Traditional approaches focus on the product, the organizational development and product concepts of operation (CONOPS). This approach is the integration of the Systems Engineering and Concurrent Engineering approaches. Systems Engineering is a multidisciplinary and collaborative engineering approach for deriving, evolving and verifying a system solution, balanced throughout its life cycle, and that meets the expectations of stakeholders and public acceptance. Concurrent Engineering is an engineering approach that anticipates, to the initial stages of development, the product requirements from the life cycle processes such as manufacturing, assembly, testing, maintenance and logistics and disposal of the product. This paper presents the approach of Systems Concurrent Engineering. Systems concurrent engineering acknowledges that the system solution is comprised of product and organization elements. Each product life cycle concept is thought from the outset and using a top‐down approach, from the product context at a given life cycle process scenario. The systems concurrent engineering approach includes in the scope of development effort, not only the development organization, but also the other life cycle processes that a given development organization performs. The approach is exemplified using the case of the development of a ‘green car‘, a car that is environmentally friendly.
