Implementation

1, 2, and 3-day hands-on workshops help teams quickly and effectively begin to use and implement DFMA. Beginning with introductions to the DFMA techniques and concluding with analyses of your own products, it's the ideal way to begin integration of DFMA into your own development process.

	Agenda

The agenda can easily be tailored to meet your specific needs. A three day workshop is recommended when complex products will be analysed and for developing DFM component costs resulting from DFA analysis work.

Day One

Introduction to DFMA.
Overview of the Design for Assembly methodology
Design for Assembly analysis of small sample product
Design for Assembly software instruction
Design for Assembly benchmark analysis of your product or assembly

Day Two
