Abstract

Designing sustainable and innovative products today requires more than just good ideas as it demands speed, flexibility, teamwork, and smart use of technology. This study used a systematic review approach guided by PRISMA to examine how Agile project management and emerging technologies enhance concurrent engineering for sustainable and collaborative product design. Literature was sourced from five major databases using targeted search terms. After a rigorous three-phase screening and quality appraisal, relevant studies were thematically synthesized around Agile, AI, automation, cloud platforms, ethics, circular economy, and composite manufacturing. The result showed that revealed that integrating Agile project management into concurrent engineering enhances flexibility, collaboration, and design responsiveness. Design automation and AI tools improve accuracy and decision-making, while cloud-based platforms strengthen real-time teamwork. Generative design supports creativity and rapid iteration. Ethical concerns like transparency and inclusivity emerged as essential. Circular economy strategies help reduce waste and extend product life. In composite manufacturing, concurrent engineering and group design improve material efficiency, product quality, and speed, demonstrating strong potential for sustainable innovation. The findings suggest that integrating Agile practices with emerging technologies creates a powerful framework for building smarter, greener, and more collaborative products now and in the future.

Abstract

In this paper, practical ways to enhance the stability characteristics and vibration response of the compliant vertical access riser (CVAR) system are studied. The CVAR system is proposed for a floating production system operating in water field of nominal depth 2438m. The study utilized a state-space model of the riser motion developed from semi-discretization of the governing equation of motion by Galerkin’s method. The stability analysis proceeds from a desirable static state of the riser system found in literature. Performance of the CVAR system under mode-coupling condition is studied exclusively, to account for the effects of damping and axial tension. The study found that the stability of the CVAR system is improved when the axial tension or the damping is increased, however, the level of improvement achievable through independent adjustment of these variables is limited and short of the field requirement. To achieve a sustainable stability for a CVAR system operated under adverse weather condition, the combined effects of increased riser damping and tension could be utilized.  In the present case, about 100% increase in axial tension, from the static equilibrium condition, is required of the CVAR system with damping coefficient of 0.5, to increase the minimum critical platform heave amplitude from a nominal value   to a desirable value , over the excitation frequency range.
