This 600 page book adds what the publisher says is already the definitive work on
 product development and now the Second Edition adds 100 new and unique pages that
have never been published before, thus resulting in the following: 

Thorough manufacturability can be  complete products in h
alf the budget with  savings ranging from half to one-tenth in nine categories (3.8). 

Research and early product development start with  Manufacturable Research (3.9), that optimizes concept/architecture (3.3.9), assures part availability (3.9.7) and  process availability, (3.9.10),  achievable tolerances (3.9.8), and  avoids work force challenges (4.8.4.2) on hard-to-build products  (3.9.9), all of which can start providing  immediate scalable, commercialization results. The design process emphasizes   thorough up front work (Chapter 3) in   complete multi-functional tams (Chapter 2) that cane  quickly scale up production without limits, delays, or extra cost (4.8)) to   avoid shortages by design by design.

Product development improvement champions and implementers will also benefit from Section 3.11 (and its 10 sub-sections) on  generating interest in designing better products for manufacturability.   All this can be applied right away on a project team (11.7) in its own micro-climate (3.11.6.1).

BACK   COVER   TEXT:

Design for Manufacturability: How to Use Concurrent Engineering to Rapidly Develop Low-Cost, High-Quality Products for Lean Production is still the definitive work on DFM – this second edition extends the proven methodology to the most advanced product development process with the addition of the following new, unique, and original topics, which have never been addressed previously. These topics show you how to:      

·       Cut cost from 1/2 to 1/10 in 9 categories -- with ways to remove that much cost from product charges and pricing.

·       Commercialize innovation --  starting with Manufacturable Research and learning from the new section on scalability, you will learn how to design products and processing equipment to scale quickly to any growth levels.

·       Design product families that can be built “on-demand” in platform cells that also “mass customize” products to-order

·       Make Lean production easier to implement with much more effective results while making build-to-order practical with spontaneous supply chains and eliminating forecasted inventory by including updated chapter on “Designing  Products for Lean Production.”

 The author’s 30 years of experience teaching companies DFM based on pre-class surveys and plant tours is the foundation of this most advanced design process. It includes incorporating dozens of proven DFM guidelines through up-front concurrent-engineering teamwork that cuts the time to stable production in half and curtails change orders for ramps, rework, redesign, substituting cheaper parts, change orders to fix the changes, unstable design specs, part obsolescence, and late discovery of  manufacturability issues at periodic design reviews. This second edition is for the whole product development community, including:  

·       Engineers who want to learn the most advanced DFM techniques  

·       Managers who want to lead the most advanced product development  

·       Project team leaders, who want to immediately apply all the principles taught in this book in their own micro-climate

·       Improvement leaders and champions who want to implement the above and ensure that the company can design products and versatile processing equipment for low-volume/high mix product varieties    

 Designing half to a tenth of cost categories can: avoid substituting cheap parts, which degrades quality, and encourage standardization and supply chains supply chains, which will encourage Lean initiatives.  Using cellular Manufacturing to shift production between lines for mixed production of platforms and build-to-order to offer the fastest order fulfillment can beat any competitors’ delivery time.
