Design for assembly—The key to design for manufacture

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

The results of the applications of design for assembly techniques to two typical designs are presented. Consideration is given to the total product cost and it is found that major cost reductions can be achieved even when assembly costs are relatively small. It is also found that assembly automation becomes more difficult to justify as a product design is gradually improved.
