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. Managers of these functions should understand the terminology and concepts. If you are in or want to be in one of those roles, then DFA Training is for you. In our course, Lexington students learn:
Design for Assembly (DFA) Training Course Overview:
DFA training describes Design for Assembly - how Lexington 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.

Lexington
Horse Capital of the World
Excellent choice! At the heart of Kentucky's Bluegrass region, Lexington is famous for peanut butter, root beer, thoroughbreds, and horse racing. The world's most productive peanut butter factory can be found on Winchester Road. Known for its root beer, A&W Restaurants is headquartered here. And of course Lexington's high-calcium Bluegrass fosters strong bones and endurance in horses. Coupled with housing the Keeneland and Red Mile horse tracks, Lexington has become an epicenter of equestrian excellence.
