Manufacturing & Assembly Design

Home > Education > Courses > Course

Despite well known methodologies, many new products are often not efficiently designed to simplify manufacturing and assembly. Therefore significant cost reduction and quality improvement opportunities are lost. All organizations have some level of consideration given to manufacturing and assembly during early concept development but few have effective processes or the skills necessary to realize all the potential cost and quality benefits. This course provides an overview of how to apply proven design processes to:

• Reduce product costs with better designs
• Reduce costly engineering changes
• Improve product reliability
• Reduce waste in manufacturing and assembly

Who should attend?
This course is designed for managers of product development organizations that are interested in learning more about how to efficiently design products that not only satisfy customers but also better satisfy your targets for cost, time and quality.

Objectives
After completing this course you will be able to:

• Describe the basic steps to design a product "up-front" for manufacturing and assembly
• Define how this process interacts with other "up-front" processes
• Assess your current processes
• Measure the impact of implementing a process for "up-front" design for manufacturing and assembly
• Develop a general plan for implementation
