Design for better manufacturability
Optimizing a design for better manufacturability (DFM) is a valuable initiative that can lead to improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall product quality in the manufacturing process.
Here's a guide on how your development team can approach DFM:
Collaborative Design Reviews: Foster collaboration between design, engineering, and manufacturing teams. Conduct regular design reviews where each team can provide input and feedback.
Early Involvement of Manufacturing Experts: Involve manufacturing experts early in the design phase. Their insights can help identify potential manufacturing challenges and provide solutions.
Simplify and Standardize Components: Simplify complex components when possible. Standardize parts and materials to streamline production processes.
Design for Common Manufacturing Processes: Tailor the design to fit common manufacturing processes. For example, design parts that are conducive to injection molding, CNC machining, or sheet metal fabrication.
Our approach on strategy
Enhancing new product performance while minimizing cost increases is a delicate balancing act that requires strategic planning and innovative thinking.
Our strategies to achieve this goal:
Value Engineering: Conduct a value engineering analysis to identify components, materials, or features that can be optimized or replaced without sacrificing performance. Look for cost-effective alternatives that maintain or improve functionality.
Design Optimization: Fine-tune the product design to enhance performance without significantly increasing costs. This may involve improving efficiency, reducing complexity, or optimizing geometries to achieve better results with existing materials.
Efficiency Improvements: Focus on improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes. Streamlining production workflows, reducing waste, and minimizing production cycle times can contribute to cost savings without compromising quality.
Standardization: Standardize components and processes where possible. Using common parts across different products can lead to economies of scale, reducing costs through bulk purchasing and simplified inventory management.
