    This document discusses design for manufacturing (DFM) which emphasizes manufacturing considerations throughout the product development process. It provides three key methods for implementing DFM: 1) using cross-functional teams, 2) establishing design rules specialized for each firm, and 3) using CAD tools like Boothroyd-Dewhurst software. Some examples of design for assembly (DFA) guidelines aim to minimize parts count, encourage modularity, and facilitate part handling. DFM can lower production costs without compromising quality.

    throughout the development process?

    Definition
    • Design for manufacturing (DFM) is a development
    practice emphasizing manufacturing issues
    throughout the product development process.

    • Successful DFM results in lower production cost


    without sacrificing product quality.
    Three Methods to Implement DFM

    1. Organization: Cross-Functional Teams

    2. Design Rules: Specialized by Firm

    3. CAD Tools: Boothroyd-Dewhurst Software


    Design for Assembly Rules
    Example set of DFA guidelines
    from a computer manufacturer.
    1. Minimize parts count.
    2. Encourage modular assembly.
    3. Stack assemblies.
    4. Eliminate adjustments.
    5. Eliminate cables.
    6. Use self-fastening parts.
    7. Use self-locating parts.
    8. Eliminate reorientation.
    9. Facilitate parts handling.
    10. Specify standard parts.
    Design for Assembly
    • Key ideas of DFA:
    –Minimize parts count
    –Maximize the ease of handling parts
    –Maximize the ease of inserting parts
    • Benefits of DFA
    –Lower labor costs
    –Other indirect benefits
    • Popular software developed by
    Boothroyd and Dewhurst.

    To Compute Assembly Time

    Handling Time
    + Insertion Time

    Assembly Time
    Method for Part Integration
    • Ask of each part in a candidate design:
    1. Does the part need to move relative to the rest of
    the device?
    2. Does it need to be of a different material because
    of fundamental physical properties?
    3. Does it need to be separated from the rest of the
    device to allow for assembly, access, or repair?
    • If not, combine the part with another part in the
    device.
    Videocassette DFM Exercise
    • 2 billion worldwide annual volume
    • 7 major producers of 1/2” cassette shells
    • JVC licenses the VHS standard
    – dimensions, interfaces, light path, etc
    • VHS cassette shells cost ~$0.25 each
    • What is a $0.01 cost reduction worth?
