Training

The one-day DFMA Training Workshop is offered to new users of the DFMA software to help them get rapid results. It is geared towards the novice user who may only have a minimum knowledge of assembly procedures and the design for assembly methodology. The focus of this one day format is on the Design for Assembly aspects of the DFMA process.

Application

This one-day workshop is specifically designed to provide participants with fast results and an immediate payback. This is accomplished with a full session devoted to performing team-oriented DFMA analyses and redesign on participants' individual company products. At the end of this one day session, you will be able to understand the benefits that DFMA can bring to your organisation, and you will have some tangible results with your own product to prove it. 

	Sample Agenda

• Introduction to DFMA.
• Overview of the software features and functions.
• Brief introduction to Design for Assembly.
• Benchmark analysis of your product or assembly.
• Brainstorming ideas for the purposes of redesign.
• Redesign analysis of your product to show potential savings.
• Printing of results for the team to take away from the workshop.

Invariably, participants leave the workshops with a new vision of ways to improve the manufacturing efficiency and quality of their own products and appreciate why DFMA is an important part of the design process. Please also note that we limit the number of people at the one day workshops to four so that we can work more closely with the individuals present.
