Design for Assembly (DFA) Training Course Overview:
DFA training describes Design for Assembly - how Grand Rapids 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.

A hydro-electric generator was built. Gypsum was mined. Fluoride was added to city water. Bridges were built. And logs milling flourished which spawned furniture manufacturing. Grand Rapids has since been selected for Ford's City of Tomorrow Challenge.
