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 DFMA improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 992 standard requirements:

  1. Will all of the assembly be done at the manufacturers facility or at upstream suppliers, or will some be done by others farther downstream in the distribution channel or even by the user?

  2. Is low cost manufacturing overseas really the most cost effective solution for your product, or could your organization benefit more by making it here?

  3. What is the average cost of assembly and the effective capacity of the system compared to one where every assembly passes the tests the first time?

  4. How would current contracting models and building requirements need to change, in order to best facilitate procurement from a product platform?

  5. What will happen to output from the system, depending on which option the operators chose after fixing the bottleneck the previous time?

  6. Are assembly operations designed collaboratively as continuous flows to ensure safety, quality, time and cost parameters are met?

  7. Is the design of the project developed so that work is structured for what is done onsite and what is done offsite?

  8. What dimension of competitiveness does time to market performance in product design and process selection affect?

  9. Is it leadership driven and embraced by all employees or is it used in silos by individual personnel or groups?

  10. Is the process capable to provide the solution required by the customer at the rate required by the customer?

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 DFMA investments work better.

This DFMA All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
