2-day Workshops

Training

Our Two Day DFMA training class is designed to introduce the full suite of DFMA tools. The focus on the first day is the Design for Assembly methodology and software tools. The second day will explore and instruct on the different DFM topics and the integration of DFM with DFA.

	Sample Training Agenda

Day One

Introduction to DFMA.
DFA questions and the minimum part criteria.
Sample hand calculation of a small assembly.
Analysis of a small assembly using DFA software.
Review software output.
Redesign analysis of the sample assembly.
Investigation of the Item library.
Investigation of the Operation library.

Day Two

Introduction to DFM Concurrent Costing.
DFM Concurrent Costing software example.
Using the Geometry Calculator.
Using CAD with DFM Concurrent Costing.
Investigation of the Material library.
Investigation of the Operation and Machine libraries.
Sample analyses.
A review of the charting and reporting options available in the software.
How DFM and DFA work together to develop "total cost".

Application

This is an outline of the two day on-site Application Workshop on DFMA using the Boothroyd Dewhurst software tools. This is only an outline; our experts are very flexible and can vary the agenda easily to meet your specific needs. The focus of a two day Application Workshop is on obtaining DFMA redesigns of your products using your team led by one of our DFMA experts.
