The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Design For Assembly specific requirements:
STEP 1: Get your bearings
Start with...

Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…
- Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation
Then find your goals...
STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 992 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Design For Assembly improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 992 standard requirements:
- Does the weapon safety specification identify all potential hazards that could be generated as the result of an unlikely functioning of a component during assembly or disassembly operations?
- Have you experienced any restrictions in your use of computers for fabrication or assembly of your product, that is restrictions that might affect your marketing of the final product?
- Will one be able understand and manage the process of custom configuring machinery around architectural details, specially poured foundations, on site machine assembly and more?
- Can improvements in the assembly and communication of intelligence mission data requirements improve timeliness and quality of intelligence mission data production?
- Is there value in standardizing materials, components, assembly design and techniques and/or recycling processes, while allowing for future technological changes?
- Have deficient fabrication and assembly processes been improved, new processes developed, and/or designed robustness improved to ensure all processes are capable?
- Is there a large variation between the planned time for manual assembly operation prepared by planners and the actual time logged by operators in the system?
- How much easier would SOA be realized if the already stated legacy systems had been designed, anticipating exposure to broad reuse and re assembly?
- Do product design and marketing offer greater scope for innovation and learning by doing and thus for productivity growth than product assembly?
- What method would your organization use if it wanted rapid, short term, incremental improvements to decrease defects in its assembly department?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:
- The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the Design For Assembly book in PDF containing 992 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in...

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.
Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'
This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Design For Assembly investments work better.
This Design For Assembly All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
