Abstract
The activity of production engineering in produce design system is expected that it should not be limited to detail design stage but should play more active part in winder areas, especially in upper process stage. This paper clears teh background where new funcitons of production engineering are expected and explains the meaning and method of planning of fundamental produciton conditions and evaluation of producibility at intial design. As a result, it is important that production engineering in design should cover not only pusure of cost minimization but also management strategy.
