- Content
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM+A), pioneered by Boothroyd and Dewhurst, has been used by many companies around the world to develop creative product designs that use optimal manufacturing and assembly processes. Correctly applied, DFM+A analysis leads to significant reductions in production cost, without compromising product time-to-market goals, functionality, quality, serviceability, or other attributes. This course will include information on how DFM+A fits in with QFD, Concurrent Engineering, Robust Engineering, and other disciplines.
Each participant will receive and use the hard-bound authoritative reference textbook "Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly", written by Geoffrey Boothroyd, Peter Dewhurst and Winston Knight.
You are also asked to bring a calculator capable of making simple calculations.

You should attend if you are a product designer, product engineer, or manufacturing engineer. Individuals involved in a new or ongoing product development process will benefit by learning how to help synchronize and optimize fabrication and assembly activities. This course is most effective when attended by product development teams. However, this is not a requirement for attendance.
