       The current research has adopted the topics of accounting and accounting except administrative accounting, which is the simultaneous engineering technique which is considered the most important techniques and management to manage the strategic cost and link it integrally with new standards in order to develop products that keep pace with developments in the surrounding environmental aspects, complementing the treatment of the research problem with the widening of the internal part of the economic relations between economic units and investment interfaces in the outside.
  In order to achieve the goal of the research and test its hypotheses, the Qudayfa laboratory, located in Babil Governorate, was chosen as a community for research, analyzing the research sample represented by the sewing operator (1) and the extent of its use of simultaneous engineering technology and its interest in aspects of sustainability, and then applying the proposed framework in it, as it was discussed and shown how to develop and improve products to be Appropriate and environmentally friendly in the laboratory, the research sample, and the necessary steps were identified before starting the implementation of the proposed framework implementation procedures, as well as a statement of its justifications and objectives, and it dealt with each of the three-dimensional simultaneous engineering dimensions (product design, production process design, and supply chain design).
The research reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that the economic unit in question did not take into account the criteria for sustainability in developing products in a successful scientific manner, as there is no obligation from any governing body to guide the economic units in defining their objectives and activities, especially the standard CN0603 (Building Products and Furniture) which is concerned with identifying indicators Sustainability in similar industries, Which contributes to achieving a wide range of competitive advantages for the economic unit of the research sample, as represented by reducing manufacturing costs, the customer’s interest in the product with what it carries with quality standards and its assumed standards, and preserving the surrounding environment from pollution by manufacturing environmentally friendly products, as well as preserving natural resources.
