    This document provides an overview of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA). It defines DFMA as designing products to be easy to manufacture and assemble. The goals of DFMA are to identify inefficiencies and eliminate waste in a product's design. DFMA involves both design for manufacture, which focuses on easy manufacturing of parts, and design for assembly, which focuses on easy assembly of the final product. Following DFMA principles such as reducing part counts and using self-aligning parts can help lower production costs and shorten development times.

    INTRODUCTION
    • DFMA stands for Design for Manufacture and Assembly.
    • Design for manufacture , which means the design for ease of manufacture of
    the parts that will form a product.
    • Design for Assembly, which means the design of the product for ease of
    assembly.
    • The practice of applying DFMA is to identify, quantify and eliminate waste
    or inefficiency in a product design.
    • Component of Lean Manufacturing DFMA is also used as a benchmarking
    tool to study competitors’ products, and as a should cost tool to assist in
    supplier negotiations.
    DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE
    • Design for manufacturability is the general engineering practice
    of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture.
    • Process of designing or engineering a product in order to facilitate
    the manufacturing process in order to reduce its manufacturing costs.
    • DFM will allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase which is
    the least expensive place to address them.
    • factors affects DFM - raw material, the form of the raw material,
    dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing.
    • Inputs to DFM include: – sketches, drawings, product specs, design
    alternatives;
    • detailed understanding of production and assembly processes
    • estimates of manufacturing costs, production volumes and ramp-up
    timing.
    DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY
    • Assembly is a key activity.
    • Much effort has therefore been put in over the years into establishing
    methods of avoiding the need for assembly.
    • The decisions affecting the assembly content of a product originate in only
    one place - the design process. Although later decisions can be made as to
    sequence, method and degree of automation, designers make the
    fundamental commitments on assembly.
    • "Design for assembly" is a general term for a set of processes, which guide
    designers in making assembly related decisions
    DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY
    • Design for assembly (DFA) is a process by which products are
    designed with ease of assembly in mind.
    • Fewer parts, less time to assemble, thereby reducing assembly costs.
    • features which make it easier to grasp, move, orient and insert them, this
    will also reduce assembly time and assembly costs.
    • The reduction of the number of parts in an assembly reduces the total cost
    of parts in the assembly.
    STEPS INVOLVED IN DFMA

    1. PLANNING.

    2. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT.

    3. SYSTEM LEVEL DESIGN.

    4. DETAIL DESIGN.

    5. TESTING AND REFINEMENT.

    6. PRODUCTION.
    GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF DFMA

    1. Reduce part counts and part type(Standardization).

    2. Design self-aligning and self-adjusting parts.

    3. Ensure ease of handling of parts from bulk.

    4. Use tools like Poka – Yoke.

    5. Maximise the symmetry of parts.


    GENERAL EXAMPLES OF DFMA
    ADVANTAGES OF DFMA
    • Shorter development schedules and reduced cycle times.
    • Better first article quality.
    • Development of robust product designs.
    • Easier transition of design to products.
    • More effective risk management.
    • Reduction in product development cost.
    • Rework is reduced.
    • Defects are reduced.
