Design for Manufacturing and
Assembly
Designing a product so that it can be produced
and assembled easily and economically

or options in a product
• Avoid tools, separate fasteners and
adjustments
• Design for ease of assembly, minimal
handling and proper presentation

– Standardization
• using commonly available and
interchangeable parts
• Using repeatable, well understood process
– Modular Design
• combining standardized building blocks, or
modules, to create unique finished products
2] Productivity
– No of engineering /manufacturing hours
– The cost of materials
– Tooling cost
– Actual Vs Planned cost
3]Quality
– Conformance Quality: The degree to which the
product or service design specifications are
met(reliability of the product)
– Design Quality: The product performance features
compared to customer expectations. Inherent value of
the product in the market place
– Defects per million opportunities(DPMO): A metric
used to measure variability of a process
