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, San Diego students learn:

Design for Assembly (DFA) Training Course Overview:

DFA training describes Design for Assembly - how San Diego 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.

Excellent choice! San Diego began with hide and tallow trade. Once located on San Diego Bay, shipping convenience and the later connection of a railroad triggered the city's growth. The San Diego Zoo was built. A naval base was established, and WWI encouraged avionics attracting defense contractors. Economic diversification spread to education, research including biotech, tourism, and electronics / communication.

Our Master Black Belt introduced improved quality and manufacturing processes. Our company was moving to become ISO certified. He and I, plus one other, came from the automotive side and certified in ISO. Further, we had QS experience which was a more concentrated standard to allow all automotive companies to work to the same quality and manufacturing standard. He was also familiar with TS quality standards.

MBBC's GD&T course was at a good level and pace for an engineer out of school and with a good understanding of conventional tolerancing. I appreciated the use of real-life examples.
