Abstract :
Design for manufacturing and assembly is widely used in industry, especially in product design and development process in order to meet customer needs, companies are struggling with competitive markets to produce low cost products with high quality and faster to market. It becomes an important concept as the best time to find cost reductions, at design stage, rather than during manufacturing. This paper review focuses on the objectives, techniques and shows its significance through literature in manufacturing industry. Finally, the based on the outcomes of review general guidelines commonly used were included with solid conclusions were raised as the use of design for manufacturing and assembly principles yields significant savings in the products, because 70-80% of the cost of the product is determined in the design phase. This paper summarizes findings based on comprehensive literature review of DFMA concepts and related tools. Overall goal with the paper is to aid designers, manufacturers, process planners in the practical industries on the ground and researchers in the mentioned area of study.
