This paper investigates the level of awareness of Jordanian industries toward the implementations of Concurrent Engineering (CE), and to identify the most influential CE practices, a conceptual model is proposed. Related practices to CE are mapped into six areas namely; Customer Involvement, Organization Management, Information Infrastructure Systems, Supplier Involvement, Workflow Distribution, and Cross-Functional Teams. The interest of implementing such CE practices are investigated in the following Jordanian industrial sectors; Chemical and cosmetics industries, Engineering and electrical industries and information technology, Wood and furniture industries, and Construction industry.

Hypotheses were formulated, a Structural Equation Model (SEM) is developed, random sampling was performed, and then primary data were collected through a five-point-Likert-scale. Model validity, reliability test, and fitness are checked. Consequently, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is conducted.

Finally, the mentioned six mapped areas have positive effects on organisations awareness toward CE. This research will provide great feedback about the extent to which implementing CE improving performance. Moreover, it may support decision makers in identifying key factors for strengthening awareness of industries toward implementing CE culture.
