Design for Assembly (DFA) Training Course Overview:

DFA training describes Design for Assembly - how Portland 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.

City of Roses

Excellent choice! In the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood, Portland is Oregon's largest city and known for eco-friendliness, bridges, biking, microbreweries, and coffeehouses. Portland began as a transportation point for goods especially timber. WWII spurred ship building. And technology migrated in helping Portland become the youthful and educated city it is today.
