About Design for Assembly (DFA) Training
Who is Design for Assembly (DFA) Training for?
Design for Assembly is usually used by Product Design and Development Engineers. Manufacturing, Production, and Quality Engineers; and Procurement professionals must also know DFA to effectively participate in design reviews and assess and challenge the use of DFA or lack thereof.

Design for Assembly (DFA) Training Course Overview:
DFA training describes Design for Assembly - how Charleston students can minimize total cost through ease of manufacturing and assembling their designs. Total cost means across the entire company or enterprise; not just total material cost or departmental cost of the Product Design team. Designers must consider implications of capital investment needed for production equipment, utilities, production labor, inspection labor, warranty, etc. Usually, theses costs can be reduced through product simplification, especially those requiring less parts. Students will see how to assess assembly methods, choose one, then quantify the assembly efficiency of their designs using the chosen assembly method.

The Holy City - She Guards Her Temples, Customs, and Laws
Excellent choice! Charleston students enjoy training in a beautiful coastal location offering beaches, golfing, massive old oak trees, lighthouses, and Georgian-style homes. Charleston began as a hot spot for pirates. Early commerce was based on tobacco, deerskin, beaver pelts, pine timber, and pitch for ships. Later, rice replaced tobacco, and invention of the cotton gin made cotton processing prosperous. Over decades, Charleston's popularity as a tourist destination has grown, and it remains a major Atlantic seaport. Auto manufacturers and information technology companies have been attracted to the area.
