Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFM/DFA)

2 Days 


I.D.#C0418



This seminar provides a functional understanding of the principles 


involved in conducting a Design for Manufacture/Design for Assembly 


study. DFM/DFA can support both manual and automated processes 


resulting in significant cost savings through simpler designs with 


fewer components. Related topics include workstation layouts, 


ergonomic considerations and errorproofing. Actual examples from the 


automotive industry are used to support the lecture and participants 

complete actual design efficiency using the DFM/DFA worksheet. 

Learning Objectives 


By attending this seminar, you will be able to: 


Recognize and list the benefits of the DFM/DFA method in creating 


product designs which support manufacturing processes leading to 


short and long term product cost savings 


Outline a Robust Manufacturing Plan that optimizes and simplifies 


product design without sacrificing quality 


Objectively determine which designs would be suitable as DFM/DFA 


candidates 


Perform the essential stages of a Design for Manufacture process 


including the analysis required to overcome typical manufacturing 


difficulties encountered in product design 


Construct an actual DFM/DFA worksheet and calculate design 

efficiency using an instructor provided project
