چکیده
Abstract—The major challenges in Product Development are making products that function well at the same time easy to build. Difficulty in manufacture makes a product expensive and hard to fabricate. If the required geometry is difficult to manufacture, it requires extra care in production. Design for Manufacture and Assembly is the analysis and redesign of a product or concept to make it easier to produce with minimum time, effort and cost. This paper presents DFM approach for the productivity improvement of a medical device. The results revealed that DFM approach can reduce the production time by 75% and production cost by 8%.

Composites of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are being used to a greater extent in the aerospace industry due to their desired material properties. CFRP are attractive to use since they are light, strong and make it possible to integrate parts in in ways not possible in other materials. However, using CFRP is challenging since they may lead to more problems in final assembly. The aim o...

Semiconductor manufacturing is generally considered to be the most complex of manufacturing processes. Reasons for this include tightly constrained production processes, reentrant process flows, expensive sophisticated equipment, variable demand, high levels of automation and an ocean of data. Yet, despite the difficulties, semiconductor manufacturing is a key industry in many industrialized na...
