Design for Manufacturing

 Design for Manufacturing is part of Design for X.


 Design for X is an acronym for that designate various design
philosophies practiced by the design team
• Design for reliability,
• Design for manufacturing,
• Design for maintenance,
• Design for robustness,
• Design for Environment,
• Etc.
 DFM is the most common of the above and it addresses the
manufacturing cost.
 Manufacturing cost has a major impact on a product profitability

Design for Manufacturing

 General Principles of DFX


• Detail-design decisions can have substantial impact on
product quality and cost.
• Development teams face multiple, and often conflicting,
goals.
• It is important to have metrics with which to compare
alternative designs.
• Dramatic improvements often require substantial
creative efforts early in the process.
• A well defined method assists the decision-making
process.

Definition

 Design for manufacturing (DFM) is a development practice


emphasizing manufacturing issues throughout the product
development process.

 Successful DFM results in lower production cost and robust


supply chainwithout sacrificing product quality.

 The DFM process is one concurrent engineering technique that


is used to bring down-stream-life-cycle concerns to the forefront
of the NPD process
NPD = New Product Introduction

Three Methods to Implement DFM

 Organization: Cross-Functional Teams

 Design Rules: Specialized by Firm

 CAD Tools: Boothroyd-Dewhurst Software

Design for Manufacturing

 DFM process comprise 5 steps:


1. Estimate the manufacturing costs
2. Reduce the costs of components
3. Reduce the costs of assembly
4. Reduce the costs of supporting production
5. Consider the impact of DFM decisions on other factors

Component Costs

 Standard Parts bought from Suppliers e.g. screws. motors, switches etc

 Custom Parts – Made according to manufacturers design from raw


materials

Design for Manufacturing

 Transportation costs are not included in the previous 2 models


but can be easily added.
 Fixed cost and variable is another way of calculation cost of a
product
 Fixed cost are the cost that do not change due to the
quantity of product made, example: salaries, rent, etc.
 Variable cost are the cost that do change in function of the
quantity of products manufactured: raw material, bolts, nuts,
etc.

Assembly Costs

 Process of assembly incurs labor costs, tooling and equipment costs

To Compute Assembly Time

Overhead Costs

 Support Costs – Support system required to manufacture the product


e.g. Material Handling, Quality Assurance, Shipping, Receiving….

 Indirect Allocation – Cannot be directly linked to the product but still have
to be paid e.g. Cost of maintenance of building, security…

Instructor: Dr. Ashok Kaushal 20
Design for Manufacturing

 To estimate cost of standard material you can get it by asking


the price from suppliers or by comparing to a similar part
 To estimate the cost of a custom part
• Single part = cost of raw material, processing and tooling
• Multiple parts = cost of each subcomponent + cost of
assembly + overhead
• Raw material cost = (weight of part + scrap allowance) * cost
per weight
• Processing costs = costs for the operator(s) of the
processing machinery + the cost of using the equipment
itself ($/hr)
• Processing time depends on operation and machine used

Bill of Materials
e.g. Original Intake

• Cost estimation using the Bill of Material (BOM)

Design for Assembly

 Key ideas of DFA:


– Minimize parts count
– Maximize the ease of handling parts
– Maximize the ease of inserting parts
• Benefits of DFA
– Lower labor costs
– Other indirect benefits

• Popular software developed by Boothroyd and Dewhurst.

Design for Assembly Rules
Example set of DFA guidelines
(from a computer manufacturer)

 Minimize parts count.


 Encourage modular assembly.
 Stack assemblies.
 Eliminate adjustments.
 Eliminate cables.
 Use self-fastening parts.
 Use self-locating parts.
 Eliminate reorientation.
 Facilitate parts handling.
 Specify standard parts.

INDU 440
Instructor: Dr. Ashok Kaushal 30
Method for Part Integration

 Ask of each part in a candidate design:


1. Does the part need to move relative to the rest of the
device?
2. Does it need to be of a different material because of
fundamental physical properties?
3. Does it need to be separated from the rest of the device to
allow for assembly, access, or repair?
• If not, combine the part with another part in the device.
