Economic Aspects
Assembly employs more people than any other
phase of manufacturing
Short assembly takt times mean that cost of
assembly is a small fraction of manufacturing cost
Each technical kind of assembly has its own
economic features

Operational Problems
When a station fails, work stops
Many cycles are lost
Deliberate queues (work in process inventory) are
used to protect against these losses
Queues then create different problems
WIP = money
Defects can hide in queues and a whole batch can be
spoiled before the defect is detected
Changeover to a different model is difficult because the
queues have to be cleansed of the old items before the
new ones can be launched
Queue mentality breeds complacency

Goals of DFM/DFA
Historically, conventionally
reduce costs, simplify processes
improve awareness of manufacturing issues during design

Conventional DFA
The issues are: (Boothroyd except where noted)
assembling each part feeding/presenting
handling/carrying/getting into position (Sony exploded views)
inserting without damage, collisions, fumbling
