New article on Designing Low-Cost Products

Design for Manufacturability & Concurrent Engineering

For the last 25 years,   Dr. David M. Anderson P.E., has been showing companies how to develop low-cost products that ramp quickly to stable production.

His customized in-house two-day Product Development Seminar has taught hundreds of companies how to design products for
the best manufacturability, at half the cost, in half the time to stable production, with the highest quality by design using the methodologies
summarized in the article on Design for Manufacturability  and published in the 2010 book,  Design for Manufacturability & Concurrent Engineering.
This seminar provides many "take aways" that can be applied immediately by design engineers and managers.

His Product-Specific workshops immediately apply these principles to new projects they begin. 

All seminars and workshops are practical and relevant because they are customized to the company's products, industry, and volumes.

His new Steel & Cost Reduction Workshop will apply DFM principle to large, heavy, or complex parts for major reduction in cost and material usage. 
The workshop will show how to develop backward-compatible substitutes that will replace expensive weldments, casting, or unnecessarily heavy machined parts
with more steel-efficient parts or assemblies of CNC machined parts that are accurately assembled by various DFM techniques.

To see a one-hour preview of the seminar, email Dr. Anderson to arrange a no-charge private webinar for decision-makers or call him directly at 1- 805-924-0100.

 

These principles have been published in Dr. Anderson's second book on Mass Customization: published in Dr. Anderson's second book on the subject: "Build-to-Order & Mass Customization; The Ultimate Supply Chain Management and Lean Manufacturing Strategy for Low-Cost On-Demand Production without Forecasts or Inventory"
