Design for Manufacturing: A Development Practice for Lowering Production Costs - Prof. Ali, Study notes of Engineering

Design for manufacturing (dfm), a development practice that emphasizes manufacturing issues throughout the product development process. It covers the importance of understanding manufacturing costs, three methods to implement dfm, and the dfm process. The document also introduces design for assembly (dfa) and boothroyd-dewhurst software.

  • 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.

3. Cost-Based Method

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 of parts.
  9. Facilitate parts handling.
  10. Specify standard parts.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

Process

  1. Estimate manufacturing cost
  2. Reduce the costs of components
  3. Reduce the costs of assembly

( Boothroyd and Dewhurst method)

  1. Reduce the costs of supporting

fabrication

  1. Repeat
