Definition Design for manufacturing (DFM) is a
development practice which emphasizes manufacturing issues throughout the product development process.
Successful DFM results in lower production cost without sacrificing product quality.
04/24/23 7
Three Methods to Implement DFM Organization:
Organize cross-functional teams Design Rules:
Exercise best practices specialized by the firm
CAD Tools: Apply CAD systems such as the
Boothroyd-Dewhurst DFA software

Introduction DFM is part of DFX DFM often requires a cross-function team DFM is performed through the development
process
04/24/23 9
Major DFM objectives Reduce component costs Reduce assembly cost Reduce production support costs
04/24/23 10
The DFM Process (5 steps)1) Estimate the mfg. costs2) Reduce the costs of components3) Reduce the costs of assembly4) Reduce the costs of supporting
production5) Consider the impact of DFM
decisions on other factors.
04/24/23 11
Estimate mfg. costs Cost categories
Component vs. assembly vs. overhead Fixed vs. variable Material vs. labor
Estimate costs for standard parts Compare to similar part in use Get a quote from vendors
Estimate costs of custom made parts Consider material costs, labor costs, and tooling costs Depend on the production volume as well
Estimate costs of assembly Summing up all assembly operations (time by rate)
Estimate the overhead costs A % of the cost drives
04/24/23 12
Reduce the costs of components Identify process constraints and cost drivers Redesign components to eliminate processing
steps Choose the appropriate economic scale for
the part process Standardize components and their processes Adhere the black-box component
04/24/23 13
Reduce the costs of assembly
Integrate parts (using the Boothroyd method)
Maximize ease of assembly Consider customer assembly (do-it-
yourself) technology driven products
04/24/23 14
Reduce the costs of supporting production
Minimize systematic complexity (such as plastic injection modeling for one step of making a complex product)
Error proofing (anticipate possible failure modes in the production system and take appropriate corrective actions early in the development process)
04/24/23 15
Considering impacts Development time Development cost Product quality External factors such as
component reuse and life cycle costs

Design for X – Design principles
Part shape strategies: adhere to specific process design guidelines if part symmetry is not possible, make parts very
asymmetrical design "paired" parts instead of right and left hand parts. design parts with symmetry. use chamfers and tapers to help parts engage. provide registration and fixturing locations. avoid overuse of tolerances.
04/24/23 25
Design for X – Design principles
Standardization strategy use standard parts standardize design features minimize the number of part types minimize number of total parts. standardize on types and length of linear materials and
code them. consider pre-finished material (pre-painted, pre-plated,
embossed, anodized). combine parts and functions into a single part.
04/24/23 26
Design for X – Design principles
Assembly strategies 1 design product so that the subsequent parts can be added to
a foundation part. design foundation part so that it has features that allow it to
be quickly and accurately positioned. Design product so parts are assembled from above or from
the minimum number of directions. provide unobstructed access for parts and tools make parts independently replaceable. order assembly so the most reliable goes in first; the most
likely to fail last.
04/24/23 27
Design for X – Design principles
Assembly strategies 2 make sure options can be added easily ensure the product's life can be extended with
future upgrades. use sub-assemblies, especially if processes are
different from the main assembly. purchase sub-assemblies which are assembled and
tested.
04/24/23 28
Design for X – Design principles
Fastening strategies 1 use the minimum number of total fasteners use fewer large fasteners rather than many small fasteners use the minimum number of types of fasteners make sure screws should have the correct geometry so that
auto-feed screwdrivers can be used. design screw assembly for downward motion minimize use of separate nuts (use threaded holes). consider captive fasteners when applicable (including
captive nuts if threaded holes are not available).
04/24/23 29
Design for X – Design principles
Fastening strategies 2 avoid separate washers and lockwashers (make it be
captivated on the bolt or nut so it can still spin with respect to the fastener)
use self-tapping screws when applicable. eliminate fasteners by combining parts. minimize use of fasteners with snap-together features. consider fasteners that push or snap on. specify proper tolerances for press fits.
04/24/23 30
Design for X – Design principles
Assembly motion strategies fastened parts are located before fastener is applied. assembly motions are simple. Assembly motions can be done with one hand or robot. assembly motions should not require skill or judgment. products should not need any mechanical or electrical
adjustments unless required for customer use. minimize electrical cables; plug electrical sub-assemblies
directly together. minimize the number of types of cable.
04/24/23 31
Design for X – Design principles
Automation handling strategies 1 design and select parts that can be oriented by automation design parts to easily maintain orientation use parts that will not tangle when handled in bulk. use parts what will not shingle when fed end to end (avoid
disks). use parts that not adhere to each other or the track. specify tolerances tight enough for automatic handling. avoid flexible parts which are hard for automation to
handle.
04/24/23 32
Design for X – Design principles
Automation handling strategies 2 make sure parts can be presented to automation. make sure parts can be gripped by automation. parts are within machine gripper span. parts are within automation load capacity. parting lines, spruces, gating or any flash do not
interfere with gripping.
04/24/23 33
Design for X – Design principles
Quality and test strategies product can be tested to ensure desired quality sub-assemblies are structured to allow sub-assembly
testing testing can be performed by standard test instruments test instruments have adequate access. minimize the test effort spent on product testing consistent
with quality goals. tests should give adequate diagnostics to minimize repair
time.
04/24/23 34
Design for X – Design principles
DF Maintenance strategies 1 provide ability for tests to diagnose problems make sure the most likely repair tasks are easy to perform. ensure repair tasks use the fewest tools. use quick disconnect features ensure that failure or wear prone parts are easy to replace
with disposable replacements provide inexpensive spare parts in the product. ensure availability of spare parts.
04/24/23 35
Design for X – Design principles
Maintenance strategies 2 use modular design to allow replacement of modules. ensure modules can be tested, diagnosed, and adjusted
while in the product. sensitive adjustment should be protested from accidental
change. the product should be protected from repair damage. provide part removal aids for speed and damage
prevention. protect parts with fuses and overloads
04/24/23 36
Design for X – Design principles
Maintenance strategies 3 protect parts with fuses and overloads ensure any sub-assembly can be accessed through one door or
panel. access over which are not removable should be self-supporting
in the open position. connections to sub-assemblies should be accessible and easy to
disconnect. make sure repair, service or maintenance tasks pose no safety
hazards. make sure sub-assembly orientation is obvious or clearly
marked.
04/24/23 37
Design for X – Design principles
Maintenance strategies 4 make sure sub-assembly orientation is obvious or clearly marked. provide means to locate sub-assembly before fastening. design products for minimum maintenance. design self-correction capabilities into products design products with self-test capability. design products with test ports design in counters and timers to aid preventative maintenance. specify key measurements for preventative maintenance programs include warning devices to indicate failures.

Design for X – Design principles
Axomatic design Axiom 1
In good design, the independence of functional requirements is maintained.
Axiom 2 Among the designs that satisfy axiom 1, the
best design is the one that has the minimum information content.
04/24/23 39
Design for X – Design principles
Axiomatic design- corollaries Decouple or separate parts of a solution if functional requirements are
coupled or become coupled in the design of products and processes. Integrate functional requirements into a single physical part or
solution if they can be independently satisfied in the proposed solution.
Integrate functional requirements and constraints. Use standardized or interchangeable parts whenever possible. Make use of symmetry to reduce the information content. Conserve materials and energy. A part should be a continuum if energy conduction is important.

Design for X – Design principles
DFA Method: Boothroyd and Dewhurst Apply a set of criteria to each part to
determine whether, theoretically, it should be separated from all the other parts in the assembly.
Estimate the handling and assembly costs for each part using the appropriate assembly process - manual, robotic, or high-speed automatic.
04/24/23 41
Design for X – Design principles
Three criteria Is there a need for relative motion? Is there a need for different materials Is there a need for maintenance?
04/24/23 42

Method for Part Integration
Ask of each part in a candidate design:1. Does the part need to move relative to
the rest of the device?2. Does it need to be of a different material
because of fundamental physical properties?3. Does it need to be separated from the
rest of the device to allow for assembly, access, or repair?
If not, combine the part with another part in the device.
