Design for Ease of Fabrication
Simplifying the fabrication process of parts ensures that they can be easily and accurately manufactured, which reduces waste and increases throughput.
Facilitate Automation
Designing products with automation in mind can significantly increase throughput and consistency, by making it possible to use robots and automated machinery effectively.
Minimize Part Count
Reducing the number of parts in a product can lower assembly time, decrease costs, and simplify inventory management, ultimately improving manufacturing efficiency.
Eliminate Adjustments
Designing products that do not require adjustments during or after assembly reduces production variability and increases the reliability of the manufacturing process.
Emphasize Testability
Creating a design that is easy to test can ensure product quality and help identify manufacturing problems early, reducing waste and ensuring that finished goods meet specifications.
Design for Part Symmetry
Creating parts that are symmetrical or using poka-yoke techniques can help in preventing assembly errors, making the process faster and reducing defect rates.
Use Standard Components
Incorporating standard parts in design can lead to cost reductions due to mass production, ease of sourcing, and reduced need for specialized tools or processes.
Minimize Handling and Orientation
Designing parts that require minimal handling and orientation during assembly speeds up the process and eliminates potential bottlenecks, enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
Enable Modular Assembly
Using modular design allows for parallel assembly processes, which can shorten production time and make maintenance easier, thus increasing overall efficiency.
