This 3 half-day workshop will provide you with fundamental knowledge and hands-on practice with Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly (DFM/DFA) and key tools.  Topics addressed include the overview and application of DFM and DFA strategies, Design for Productivity, Process Capability, and Realistic Tolerancing.


Here are some of the things that you’ll learn:

  • The 3 Phases of the DFx Process and best practice activities/strategies to implement Design for Manufacturing, Design for Assembly, Design for Lean, and Design for Six Sigma.
  • How to identify the best opportunities to apply DFX on new or changed products and processes.
  • Key elements of any component or assembly design that must be considered during DFM/DFA analysis and application.
  • DFX events, exercises, and studies that ensure that key stakeholders, including vendors and suppliers, are have input to the DFM/DFA activities.
  • How to structure the DFM/DFA process to facilitate the engineering/launch team through the process for both new products and or redesigned products/processes.
  • Step by step guidelines for analyzing DFA including design for handling, presentation, orientation, insertion, fastening, and error proofing, mistake proofing, and poka yoke applications for design and process elements.
  • DFM guidelines and general tolerancing recommendations on the most popular manufacturing processes, including injection molding, machining, metal forming, casting, etc.
  • How to calculate and assign appropriate tolerances for new designs.
  • 15 key Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) strategies for increasing tolerances and reducing cost without compromising product function.
  • How to take advantage of GD&T principles without adding GD&T to the drawings.


The program is designed for all levels of design, product engineering, and manufacturing personnel, as well as engineering management personnel.  It can be tailored to fit special needs of new product and process development, or can focus on application for existing designs and manufacturing environments.
