Design for Assembly
Workshop M-781
DESCRIPTION:
The goal of the Design for Assembly workshop is to provide design teams with a practical and intuitive process for optimizing product designs for either automated or manual assembly.
OBJECTIVES:
- Introduce design teams to an effective Design for Assembly methodology
- Support institutionalization of the DFA methodology through actual, hands-on application
AUDIENCE:
Product design engineers, industrial designers, process design engineers, device engineers, product engineers, process engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality practitioners, and management of those functions.
PREREQUISITES:
No prerequisites to this class
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Product designs, which result in lower product cost and higher quality through labor / materials optimization and reduction of assembly related defects.
WORKSHOP DURATION: 1 Day
Course Agenda
-Introduction / Course Roadmap Review
-Review of previous team efforts at DFA: what worked and what didn’t work
-DFA candidate products review
-Pre-DFA Groundwork:
- Re-statement of company disciplines / initiatives: FMEA, QFD, Platform Design, Risk Analysis, Lean, Six Sigma, etc.
- Statement of manufacturing goals: projected volumes, materials, process technologies, costs, etc.
- Industry process benchmark data review
-Evaluation of customer requirements and product definition
-Completion of functional analysis
-Initial design proposal
-Presentation and discussion of DFA principles
-Screening of initial design proposal against DFA guidelines
