Boothroyd Dewhurst DFMA Design for Manufacture and Assembly DFM Design for Manufacture DFA Design for Assembly DFX

3-day Workshops

Application

This is the outline of a three day on-site DFMA workshop using the Boothroyd Dewhurst software tools. This is only an outline; the agenda can easily be tailored to meet your specific needs.

In a three day session, focus is placed on developing component costs resulting from DFA analysis work. Additional time may be required depending on product complexity and participant knowledge of both DFMA and of the products to be analysed. As a result, workshops of both four and five days are also available.
