Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Framework for Including the Value of Time in Design-for-Manufacturing Decision Making

Examples of design rules are: minimize the number of discrete parts in the design, minimize the number of unique part numbers in the design, eliminate adjustments at final assembly and eliminate fasteners [baetz87, Trucks87]. Some of the rules are more narrowly focused on part features and may, for example, specify that holes punched in sheet metal parts should be located at least two hole diameters away from the edge of a part. The rules are a codification of production expertise into a concise form and are easy to communicate. There is significant anecdotal evidence that the use of these guidelines is effective in producing low-cost and high-quality designs [gager86].

Excerpt from A Framework for Including the Value of Time in Design-for-Manufacturing Decision Making

Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) has been promoted as a way to enhance product development and production system performance. Current DFM practices exploit substantial part integration to minimize the materials and labor costs of a product. DFM techniques, however, often lead to long tooling procurement times because of the complexity of the resulting parts. We present a cost model that explicitly includes the economic cost of time. Using this model we show that violating DFM guidelines in order to reduce part complexity can lead to a net improvement in product development and production system performance for high-volume products in time-critical markets. We illustrate how the cost model can be applied in practice by reporting on a field study of design decision making for Polaroid cameras.

key words: product design, design for manufacturing, lead time, design decision making, cost modeling for design.
