Tooling U - SME DFM is the classic method of creating good product designs that reduce part count, simplify manufacturing techniques, and standardize parts and materials with the ultimate goal of developing a quality product at the lowest cost while saving time. The primary advantage of the design for assembly (DFA) methodology is that it ensures a good design early in the design process before much effort and cost has been expended in pursuing an ineffective design.
Course Objectives:
- Understand how DFM impacts product cost and quality
- Identify ways to simplify your product and dramatically reduce part count
- Understand the six principles of mistake-proofing (poka-yoke) and how to proactively apply it
- Learn the principles of design for assembly for both mechanical and electronic products
- Obtain detailed guidelines of DFM covering fabrication processes used by your company
- Learn by doing through a series of exercises
- See hundreds of examples of good and bad design for manufacturability
- Learn how to optimize tolerances to enhance manufacturability
- Determine the 10 key steps to DFM implementation
- Learn a practical methodology for analyzing the manufacturability of your company's products
- Obtain practical DFM feedback on your existing products or products under development.
Recommended Background
