“…Use of DFMA slows down the process briefly during the product conceptualization stage but according to Boothroyd, Dewhurst, and Knight (2010), the extra time consumed while using DFMA techniques in conceptualization stage is compensated by the savings in time when prototyping takes place. Canciglieri, Kovalchuk, Rudek, and de Souza (2010) demonstrated the applicability of DFMA methodology in the white goods industry (refrigerators, ovens, toasters, etc. ) and also showed a case study on a consumer product which was redesigned with lower cost and higher reliability.…”

Reducing the time and cost involved in the product development is very important to stay competitive in the market. Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) is a cost-reduction framework for designers to evaluate manufacturing aspects of a product design. A case study on an in-market food processor, this paper aims to demonstrate the significance of DFMA implementation on an Indian consumer product. Even though many DFMA case studies have been published till date, very few have dealt with the Indian consumer durables category. In this paper, various cost-reduction opportunities are identified in the design of a food processor manufactured by a reputed company in India. Using the DFMA study, design ideas are developed with an objective of reducing the overall manufacturing cost of the product. As a result of DFMA implementation, significant improvement in terms of the product's architecture, assembly time and design efficiency is identified. Overall cost reduction of 0.25 USD (United States Dollar) was achieved and an improvement in the Design for Assembly (DFA) index from 15.99 to 19.93 is reported. This procedure utilized in this paper can be adopted for any consumer durable products of similar type and design improvements and cost reduction can be achieved.

“…A study reveals the effective utilization of DFMA in the white goods sector, encompassing household appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and toasters. Redesigning a consumer product with cost reduction and enhanced reliability as objectives demonstrates the potential of DFMA in this industry (Canciglieri et al, 2010). DFMA includes functional analysis, dissecting the product into its functions and evaluating the approach to accomplish each function.…”

To maintain market competitiveness, reducing product development time and costs is crucial. The DFMA methodology offers a structured approach for designers to assess manufacturing aspects, minimizing expenses. This study investigates DFMA implementation in producing an LED light bulb and its assembly procedure. Few studies have focused on this specific product category. The goal is to identify cost-saving strategies for a reputable company's LED light bulb development. DFMA involves prioritizing manufacturing cost reduction in design concepts. The study shows significant improvements in product architecture, assembly time, and design efficiency through DFMA. Empirical data shows a 68% reduction in manual assembly time and an increase in the DFA index from 14.6 to 75. These results demonstrate the potential of DFMA to enhance similar products and reduce expenses. Applying DFMA in product design allows manufacturers to improve market competitiveness while maintaining quality standards.

“…They support integrated multidisciplinary work through the use of communication technologies and support mainframes. This allows independent divisions within a company, that are involved in a product's life-cycle, to integrate with the aim of "developing new products of the highest quality standards with reduced costs, assembly time, and overall development time", optimizing their capability to be industrialized [5].…”

Nowadays, engineering programs with Problem Based Learning methodologies, develop functional prototypes for demonstration purposes. Most of these ideas, many of them promising, are left behind once the academic term is over. Only a slight percentage of them are followed by an industrialization process, which is not formalized and it is based on third-party experiences. Even if well-known product design methodologies include some methods and activities oriented to evolve the product along its life cycle, they are not suitable for academic projects or they leave out some aspects of the local context. This has been an unexploited area, with high potential as there is no transcendence with academic projects; especially after all the time, effort, and creativity employed into a potentially profitable idea. In this way, the authors propose a methodology intended to allow the transition from academic functional prototype to a product ready to be industrialized according to the capabilities of the local context. Emerging economies, where industrial capabilities may be limited. The development of the methodology has been applied in a case study of an individual electric vehicle. This vehicle was developed with students and researchers within the Design Engineering Research Group (GRID) and it is intended to transport the persons responsible to distribute mail, and packages internally in the University campus. The object of such a case is to study the feasibility to promote this vehicle from functional prototype to a product ready to be industrialized under local industrial constraints.
