In the context of concurrent engineering, this paper presents a quite innovative approach to the collaborative optimization process, which couples a multi-objective genetic algorithm with an asynchronous communication tool. This optimization method allows the collaborative and multi-sites design to be performed without requiring significant investments or changes in the company organization. To illustrate this methodology, the collaboration of three European companies on the optimization of a ship hull is described. The hull shape is automatically optimised distributing the elements of the optimization loop among three distant sites. Our study demonstrates that when multi-objective optimization is carried out in a distributed manner it can provide a powerful tool for concurrent product design.
