Study Notes
- DFMA, Design for Manufacture and Assembly, aims to make manufacturing and assembly easier and quicker without compromising on quality or functionality, leading to cost savings.
- DFMA was developed in the late '70s and early '80s to optimize material costs, manufacturing processes, product complexity, and time to market.
- 75% to 85% of overall product costs are committed during the design stage, making early consideration of DFMA crucial for eliminating future assembly costs.
- DFMA supports lean manufacturing by optimizing design early to facilitate future manufacture and assembly processes.
- Benefits of DFMA include supporting concurrent engineering, simplifying product structures, reducing costs, increasing productivity, and highlighting deficiencies in product design.
- Challenges in implementing DFMA include understanding interactions between product and manufacturing processes, considering associated costs of design decisions, and ensuring parallel decision-making between designers and manufacturers.
- DFMA approaches can be divided into organizational and management issues (supporting multidisciplinary activities) and methods/tools considerations for successful implementation.
