The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Design for Manufacturability specific requirements:
STEP 1: Get your bearings
Start with...
- The latest quick edition of the Design for Manufacturability Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.
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 993 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 Manufacturability improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 993 standard requirements:
- Has review of the design identified problems with the requirements, as missing requirements, ambiguous requirements, extraneous requirements, untestable requirements, or implied requirements?
- Which facility layout is best suited for the intermittent type of production, which is a method of manufacturing several different products using the same production line?
- Can the project team clearly articulate the sales/distribution strategy, and has the project team begun to generate tangible evidence that the strategy will be effective?
- Is the product ready for general release, determined in terms of performance characteristics, reliability, manufacturability, service and related criteria?
- Do you make any redesign suggestions that would reduce the relative cycle time required to produce the part and, hence, the processing cost for the part?
- Is what is observed a fleshed out market oriented largely to special situations or are you seeing first evidence of a new transportation service?
- Has the project team clearly articulated the product concept in sufficient detail to enable product design and development processes to begin?
- Is the material selected going to be compatible with the plating on the sensor leads or the finish specified on the circuit board?
- What is the residual effect of the alternative reflow profile on the sensor package, the passive components, and the board itself?
- How can a project or an investor know with any level of certainty that it is on the right path, especially in the earlier phases?
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 Manufacturability book in PDF containing 993 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in...

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy
The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage Design for Manufacturability projects with the 62 implementation resources:
- 62 step-by-step Design for Manufacturability Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Design for Manufacturability project requirements and success criteria:
Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:
- Procurement Audit: Is the procurement process organized the most appropriate way taking into consideration the amount of procurement?
- Project Scope Statement: If there are vendors, have they signed off on the Design for Manufacturability project Plan?
- Responsibility Assignment Matrix: With too many people labeled as doing the work, are there too many hands involved?
- Team Member Performance Assessment: To what degree do members articulate the goals beyond the team membership?
- Activity Cost Estimates: Does the activity use a common approach or business function to deliver its results?
- Variance Analysis: Is the anticipated (firm and potential) business base Design for Manufacturability projected in a rational, consistent manner?
- Team Member Performance Assessment: In what areas would you like to concentrate your knowledge and resources?
- Stakeholder Management Plan: Is an industry recognized mechanized support tool(s) being used for Design for Manufacturability project scheduling & tracking?
- Quality Audit: How does your organization know that its risk management system is appropriately effective and constructive?
- Cost Management Plan: Was the Design for Manufacturability project schedule reviewed by all stakeholders and formally accepted?

Results
With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Design for Manufacturability project with this in-depth Design for Manufacturability Toolkit.
In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:
- Diagnose Design for Manufacturability projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
- Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
- Integrate recent advances in Design for Manufacturability and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines
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 Manufacturability investments work better.
This Design for Manufacturability All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
