Advantages of DFMA • Typical results of DFMA application • Results of 88 published case studies Decreases • 51% parts count reduction • 37% parts cost • 50% time to market • 64% in assembly time • 57% in manufacturing assembly time • 58% in assembly operations • 69% in separate fasteners • 68% in assembly defects • 57% in service calls 68% in improvement in quality and reliability
Benefits of DFMA • Shorter developmental schedules and reduced cycle times. • Better first article quality • Development of robust product designs • Easier transition of designs to production • Better supplier product integration • More effective risk management
McDonnel Douglas experience • Reduce number of parts and fasteners used on aircraft • It means fewer opportunities for defects • For each fastener there is the chance that the hole will be drilled in the wrong place or be the wrong size • By reducing the number of fasteners – numbers of defects reduced, therefore, produce a higher quality product • Weight is critical. Fuel costs approximately $50,000 per pound of aircraft weight over 6000 hrs of the life of the aircraft • There are 179000 on the FA-18 CD fasteners • In previous models several parts were made of sheet metal because machined parts were unable to reach minimum gage limits • With high speed machining – thinner gauge limits have become possible

Me’s 4000 LABOUR HOURS TO SPITFIRE 13000 HOURS • AIR WAR HISTORIANS DESIGNATE SPITFIRES AS THE BETTER AIRCRAFT, THE LONG AND SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF ME 109’s DURING ARAB ISRAELI WAR 1948 DEMONSTRATED THAT MAJOR ATTENTION TO DFMA PRODUCES EFFECTIVE AIRCRAFT DESIGN EVEN AS EARLY AS 40’s
SPITFIRE VS. MESSERCHMIDST. • SPITFIRE: • DESIGNED FOR AERODYANAMIC PERFORMANCE AND STRUCTURAL EFFICIENCY • BEAUTIFUL ELLIPTICAL WINGS CHOSEN FOR AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE WAS A NIGHTMARE TO MASS PRODUCE • DIFFICULT TO LEARN TO FLY, HIGHLY MANOEUVERABLE • WAS PRODUCED IN LARGE NUMBERS BECAME A MAJOR FORCE IN BATTLE OF BRITAIN AIR CAMPAIGN 1940-41
SPITFIRE VS. MESSERCHMIDST • MESSERCHMIDST • DESIGN WAS A DFMA CLASSIC • A MINIMUM OF COMPOUND CURVES USED IN THE EXTERIOR • RUDDER AND HORIZONTAL STABILISERS WERE SQUARED OFF FOR PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY • COCKPIT CANOPY WAS MADE ALMOST ENTIRELY OF FLAT GLASS • 20 MM CANNON FIRED THROUGH A HOLLOW PROPELLER SHAFT TO OVERCOME COMPLEXITIESOF WING INSTALLATION AND TO ELIMINATE SIGHTING PARALLAX
INTEGRATED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE • SIMULTANEOUSLY ADDRESS DESIGN FOR PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN FOR PRODUCTION • SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HAS ALIGNED DESIGN ENGINEERS IN REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL FLOWS etc. • INCLUDING THE ASPECTS OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS DEVELOPMENT IN THE SYSTEM ENGINEERING PROCESS HAS BEEN MORE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE
DESIGN HAS DIFFERENT MEANINGS • TO SOME IT IS AESTHETIC DESIGN • TO SOME IT MEANS ESTABLISHING THE BASIC PARAMETERS OF A SYSTEM • TO SOME IT IS DETIALING OF THE MATERIALS, SHAPES,AND TOLERANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF THE PRODUCT • DFMA ADDRESSES THE LAST ASPECT OF PRODUCT DESIGNS
DFMA • THREE MAIN APPROACHES TO DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AND USED Viz.: • DESIGN HEURISTICS • DESIGN RATINGS • DESIGN REVISION
DESIGN HEURISTICS • GENERAL SET OF RULES eg.: • MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF PARTS & ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS • AVOID PARTS THAT SHINGLE TANGLE etc. • HEURISTICS CAN BE APPLIED TO A DESIGNER’S THINKING PRIOR TO ACTUAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT OR ONCE AN ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE • USED TO SIMPLIFY PRODUCT
DESIGN RATING • PROVIDE RATINGS FOR COMPONENTS AS WELL AS OVERALL DESIGN • ASSEMBLY RATINGS CAN BE CALCULATED • BDI HAS THEORETICAL HANDLING AND MATING RATINGS • OTHER DFA RATING METHODS PROVIDE DIFFERENT SCHEMES
DESIGN REVISION METHOD • COMBINATION OF HEURISTICS AND RATING METHOD eg. BDI • BDI COMBINES A COMPONENT RATING SCHEME WITH AN ASSEMBLY TIME AND COST ESTIMATION METRIC AS WELL AS SPECIFIC RULES IN AN ORDERED SEQUENCE FOR DECIDING HOW TO REVISE A DESIGN. THIS HAS ENABLED PRODUCT DESINERS IN MINIMISING ASSEMBLY SIMPLICITY
DFMA METHODOLOGY • WALKING THROUGH A CONCEPTUAL OR EXISTING DESIGN IN A VERY SPECIFIC PROCEDURE THROUGH OUT • THE PROCEDURE FOLLOWED AND THE DATA BASE SYSTEM ALLOWS A DESIGN ENGINEER OR CROSSFUNCTIONAL TEAM TO ANALYSE AND RATE PRODUCT DESIGNS FOR EASE OF ASSEMBLY, DESIGN EFFICIENCY AS WELL AS PREDICT PRODUCT ASSEMBLY AND MANUFACTURING COST
DFMA METHODOLOGY(CONTD.) • CAD RESULTED IN POWERFUL QUANTITATIVE OR ANALYTICAL TOOLS, PROVIDED BASIS FOR JUDGING A DESIGNER’S PERFORMANCE. DFMA HAS GIVEN MANUFACTURING ENGINEERS SUCH A TOOL. • DFMA IS ATTEMPTING TO FORESEE AT THE PRODUCT CONCEPTUAL DESIGN STAGE , WHAT MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY AND QUALITY PROBLEMS WILL BE TO ARRIVE AT A BETTER PRODUCT
DFMA tools • Are tools for DFM & DFA

DFMA TECHNIQUE DESIGN CONCEPT SUGGESTIONS FOR SIMPLIFICATION FOR PRODUCT STRUCTURE DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY ( DFA ) SELECCCTION OF MATERIALS AND PROCESSES AND EAZRLY COST ESTIMATES SUGGESTIONS FOR MORE ECONOMIC MATERIALS AND PROCESSES BEST DESIGN CONCEPT DETAIL DESIGN FOR MINIMUM MANUFACTURING COST DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE ( DFM ) PROTOTYPE PRODUCTION
BDI software • It does an assembly analysis profile on a standard format where it theorizes the number of tasks to be performed, fasteners required, connectors to be installed, candidates for elimination, acquisition of items not in reach or in stock, requisition of tools not in hand, standard operations, library of operations and recommendations. • All these activities are numbered and plotted. It automatically provides suggestions for improvement. • System provides suggestions for design and indicating every task with its time saving and its percentage reduction. It indicates specific instructions to perform the related tasks in order to obtain the suggested savings. • It also lists design for assembly analysis totals all parameters used for analysis such as total assembly time, totally assembly cost, total assembly weight, number of parts, sub assemblies theoretical minimum numbers of parts or unanalysed sub assemblies and the hourly labour rate. • All suggestions and comments included in the computer generated tables are automatically provided to aid the designers and manufacturing engineers to obtain a better view of the job
Questions asked in DFMA about each part in a product design • Does the part move with respect to other parts already assembled • Must the part be made from a different material or isolated from all other parts already assembled • These questions lead the reviewers to re-evaluate each part and process that has been specified • If a part does not meet any of these criteria – it is a candidate for elimination or consolidation with another part
