What is Design for Manufacturing (DFM)?
|
To design a product w/ the organization's manufacturing capabilities in mind.
|
|
|
What is the Over-The-Wall Approach?
|
Designers create idea for product and throw the idea over to the manufacturer; there are communication problems in this method.
|
|
|
What is Concurrent Engineering?
|
Designers and Manufacturers work together to create a product.
|
|
|
Is Over-The-Wall or Concurrent Engineering better?
|
Concurrent Engineering b/c you get the problems out of the way early = less expensive.
|
|
|
Who do you build the product for? (3 people)
|
1.) Customers
2.) People who repair, recycle, get rid of it. 3.) Manufacturers |
|
|
What are the stages in the manufacturing PLC?
|
1.) Incubation
2.) Growth 3.) Maturity 4.) Saturation (of market) 5.) Decline |
|
|
What is standardization?
|
Getting rid of variety within a product so it delivers the same service and benefits to all users.
|
|
|
What are the 2 benefits of interchangeable parts?
|
1.) Less costly
2.) Easier for replacement/repair |
|
|
What is mass customization and what are the 2 tactics to mass customize?
|
Mass customization is producing standard goods/services, but having some customization in the final product.
2 Tactics: 1.) Delayed Differentiation 2.) Modular Design |
|
|
What is Delayed Differentiation and what company does it?
|
Delayed Differentiation is producing a product but not completing it until the customer has added it's customization.
ex: Suit makers that make everything but allow customers to choose length, cuffs or no cuffs etc. |
|
|
What is Modular Design and what company does it?

|
The ability to work under the conditions its supposed to work under.
|
|
|
When is the optimal level of reliability reached?
|
When the incremental benefit equals the incremental cost.
|
|
|
What is a robust design?
|
When a product can work in a broader range of conditions.
|
|
|
What is the difference between reliable and robust?
|
Reliable works when its supposed to, robust works when its supposed to and then some.
|
|
|
What are the 5 stages in the stage-gate aka Product Development Funnel?
|
1.) Concept generation and selection
2.) Product Design 3.) Prototype and Testing 4.) Pilot Production 5.) Manufacturing Ramp-Up & Release |
|
|
What are the 3 disadvantages of standardization?
|
1.) Frozen in designs even when change needs to be made
2.) Design changes are very costly. 3.) Decreased variety, so less appealing to customers. |
