Ch.11 Product Design T Ulrich DFM - TM

This document summarizes key points about design for manufacturing (DFM) from Chapter 11 of the book "Product Design and Development" including: 1. DFM emphasizes manufacturing issues throughout the product development process to result in lower production costs without sacrificing quality. 2. There are three main methods to implement DFM - using cross-functional teams, following specialized design rules, and using CAD tools like Boothroyd-Dewhurst software. 3. An example of design for assembly (DFA) guidelines from a computer manufacturer emphasizes minimizing parts count, using modular and stacked assemblies, and standardizing parts.

Understanding Manufacturing Costs
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
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?
DFM Strategy is Contingent
