Concurrent engineering is one of the large, complex programs thatbenefits from using the objectuoriented method. This paper first introduces some popular object-oriented designmethods and then focuses on the IDEF4 method. The IDEF4 method is one member of IDEF, which is an integratedfamily of integration definition methods. The IDEF4 method was applied to the development of a specific system. Application of the method exposes the advantages and disadvantages of IDEF4. An enhancement method, IDEF4X, isproposed to provide a more powerful object-oriented method.展开更多
