Design for Manufacturability and Assembly

What are the key principles of design for manufacturability?

• Simplify, minimize, standardize, design for assembly, consider manufacturing process

• Complicate the design

• Maximize the number of parts

• Ignore the manufacturing process

Explain the concept of design simplification in the context of manufacturability.

• Ignoring the manufacturing process and focusing solely on the design aesthetics.

• Adding unnecessary features to the product design to make it more appealing to customers.

• Reducing the complexity of a product's design to make it easier and more cost-effective to manufacture.

• Increasing the complexity of a product's design to make it more challenging to manufacture.

How does design for assembly contribute to the overall manufacturability of a product?

• It simplifies the manufacturing process by reducing the number of parts and assembly time.

• It only applies to the design phase and does not affect the manufacturing process.

• It has no impact on the manufacturability of the product.

• It makes the manufacturing process more complex by increasing the number of parts and assembly time.

What role does material selection play in design for manufacturability?

• It only affects the color of the product

• It has no impact on the manufacturing process

• It makes the product more expensive

• It directly impacts the ease of manufacturing, cost, and overall quality of the product.

Discuss the impact of design for manufacturability on production cost and time-to-market.

• Design for manufacturability has no impact on production cost and time-to-market.

• Design for manufacturability increases production cost and time-to-market.

• Design for manufacturability only affects production cost but not time-to-market.

• Design for manufacturability can reduce production cost and time-to-market.
