Design for Manufacturing

Design for manufacturing optimizes the design of a product so that it can be manufactured efficiently at the lowest acheivable cost. Design for manufacturing must also take into account the capabilities of the facility in which manufacturing is take place.

 

An excellent product is vital, but also it must be manufactured efficiently, with high quality and at the lowest achievable cost.  Manufacturability can be added afterward with revisions to a design; but the best choice is to design manufacturability into a product from the beginning.

 

US Technics engineers have extensive direct experience in manufacturing.  They have spent major parts of their careers on the shop floor seeing firsthand what makes a product move through manufacturing processes smoothly and efficiently.  They understand that manufacturability depends on the facility to be used for production: what can be easily made in one factory or shop can be difficult in another.  Therefore designs are tailored for the capabilities of the facility where production is to be done.
