    Design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) aim to minimize production costs and time to market while maintaining quality. DFM focuses on selecting manufacturing processes that reduce part counts, while DFA simplifies assembly methods. Implementing DFM and DFA can lower costs by reducing parts, simplify production and assembly processes to reduce time and errors, and improve quality and reliability. The DFM and DFA process involves cross-functional teams who apply design guidelines to optimize manufacturing, assembly, and other functions for best cost, quality, time-to-market, and customer satisfaction.

    Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

    Design for manufacturing (DFM) is design based on


    minimizing the cost of production and/or time to market
    for a product, while maintaining an appropriate level of
    quality. The strategy in DFM involves minimizing the
    number of parts in a product and selecting the appropriate
    manufacturing process.
    Design For Assembly (DFA) involves making attachment
    directions and methods simpler.

    DFM and DFA Benefits


    It reduces part count thereby reducing cost. If a
    design is easier to produce and assemble, it can
    be done in less time, so it is less expensive.
    Design for manufacturing and assembly should
    be used for that reason if no other.
    It increases reliability, because if the production
    process is simplified, then there is less
    opportunity for errors.
    It generally increases the quality of the product for the
    same reason as why it increases the reliability.

    DFM and DFA


    DFM and DFA starts with the formation of the
    design team which tends to be multi-disciplinary,
    including engineers, manufacturing managers,
    cost accountants, and marketing and sales
    professionals.
    The most basic approach to design for
    manufacturing and assembly is to apply design
    guidelines.
    You should use design guidelines with an
    understanding of design goals. Make sure that the
    application of a guideline improves the design
    concept on those goal.

    Design for manufacturability is the process of proactively designing


    products to (1) optimize all the manufacturing functions: fabrication,
    assembly, test, procurement, shipping, delivery, service, and repair, and (2)
    assure the best cost, quality, reliability, regulatory compliance, safety, timeto-market, and customer satisfaction.

    Ken Youssefi

    Design for Manufacturability can reduce many costs,


    since products can be quickly assembled from fewer
    parts. Thus, products are easier to build and assemble, in
    less time, with better quality. Parts are designed for ease
    of fabrication and commonality with other designs.
    DFM encourages standardization of parts, maximum use
    of purchased parts, modular design, and standard design
    features.
    Designers will save time and money by not having to
    "re-invent the wheel." The result is a broader product
    line that is responsive to customer needs

    DFM and DFA Design Guidelines


    Minimize part count by incorporating multiple functions into
    single parts. Several parts could be fabricated by using different
    manufacturing processes (sheet metal forming, injection
    molding). Ask yourself if a part function can be performed by a
    neighboring part.

    DFM and DFA Design Guidelines


    Modularize multiple parts into single sub-assemblies.

    DFM and DFA Design Guidelines


    Design to allow assembly in open spaces, not
    confined spaces. Do not bury important components.

    DFM and DFA Design Guidelines


    Standardize parts to reduce variety.
