Systematic DFMA Deployment
Real‐World Implementation and Hard Savings Make the Difference
Systematic DMFA Deployment is a straightforward, logical method to design out product cost and design in product function. Whether you want to learn about DFMA, execute a single project, implement across the company, or convince company leaders of DFMA benefits, this workshop is for you.
Systematic DFMA Deployment workshop will focus on implementation of DFMA into your product design/development process. Attendees will learn:
- Why DFMA should be used in your product development process – a case for change
- Where and when DFMA should be used in your product development process
- How to change your product development process to benefit from DFMA
Once you understand the principles of the Systematic DFMA Deployment milestone‐based system, you will focus on activities that actually reduce product cost and avoid wheel‐spinning activities that create distraction.
