    Collapse Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/A) Series
    In today's global market, companies' profit margins are being squeezed and customer expectations lead to increasing quality demands. Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/A) is a tried and proven method to increase quality and reduce product cost. But rather than increase development effort, it has the side benefit of reducing late redesign iterations to resolve producibility and reducing overall time to market. While DFM/A benefits are widely recognized, organizations often lose sight of this practice with many of the other everyday demands. This series will cover DFM/A principles, the steps to incorporate DFM/A into a company's development process, as well as a practical method spreadsheet method to assess and improve DFM/A.

    Learning Objectives
    During this series, participants will learn how to:
    • Identify the principles of design for assembly
    • Mistake-proof the product and process design
    • Apply guidelines related to design of parts using machining, sheet metal, injection molding, and other techniques
    • Recognize the way process capability affects manufacturability and steps to optimize tolerances
    • Identify a method for incorporating DFM/A into a company's development process
    • Describe a practical spreadsheet methodology to assess and improve manufacturability
